Wife, Mother, and Teacher Assistant Moving Up

My name is Niki Smith. I am a mother of two junior high boys. Connor is in eight grade and Tanner is in sixth grade. I have been married to Robby for almost nineteen years. I have been a teacher assistant for five years now and I love it! I work in a third through fifth grade elementary school.  I have battled with myself for about seven years about going back to school for my masters in teaching. I finally decided to go for it! I hope to fulfill my dream and make it a reality with Walden University.

I have a bachelors in business and also a cosmetology license. I used to work in a beauty salon in Memphis, Tennessee.  We moved to Big Sandy after 9/11. We live on 12 acres with 3 dogs, 19 chickens, and 1 duck. My life is pretty busy, but I'm looking forward to making room for my degree. I have already noticed some similarities in other classmates. I'm looking forward to making some new friends and accomplishing this endeavor.

  1. Hi Niki,
    It sounds like your life is pretty busy, but being a mom I wouldn't expect anything less. I too have a Conner with and /e/ and he 5 and about to graduate from kindergarten. I'm sure you can remember those days very well. I look forward to learning with you and good luck in accomplishing your goals of teaching.
    Sincerely,
    Nicole Resig

  2. Hi Niki,
    Wow...It seems like you have alot on your plate. I do not have any kids as of yet, that is why I am trying to fulfill all of my dreams before I start having a family of my own. I am looking forward to reading more of your blog posts.
