Success Stories

Gail Thomas

Not all of us are always aware of what we will excel at, and one Gail Thomas was one such example. She never planned to be a teacher, yet her friends always believed that she had the traits of a quality teacher. However, Gail always held a soft spot for young kids, and was particularly pushed into the field of special education when her nephew was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Despite being a bright child, her nephew required additional assistance, and as he prepared for a new school, Gail took it upon her to teach him. She would show him videos and pictures and teach her the English alphabet and numbers. While doing so, she also started teaching at a church. A combination of these experiences nurtured her love for teaching, and she specifically desired to assist students with special needs. That said, two years ago, she got enrolled in a foundation degree for special education, and decided to embark on a formal career in special education. To further her abilities, she decided to utilize her time during the pandemic, and Gail got admitted to ACT PG Diploma in SEN. She found the course immensely supportive, and with the acquired insights, she managed to secure a teaching position in the 98th Percentile School. Gail is still under the training phase of her new job, and is yet to commence her lessons. ACT takes pride in being associated with such remarkable individuals, and extends good wishes and blessings galore to Gail.
