Special Education Teachers (can you answer a few questions)?

[Idealist Dreamer Realist]

So, I have an internship right now. While taking this internship I am assigned to do many assignments. Among one of them, I have to interview a special education teacher (my "boss"). I don't know If I'll have enough time to ask her many questions so I want to get some background info on the general Special education teachers.

1) When did you start to want to become a teacher?
2) What made you want to be a "special" education teacher?
3) Was this your original plan?
4) What did you study in school?
5) What degrees did you get?
6) What was your first job in this specific field?
7) Have you struggled in this field/ been successful?
8) What are the positives and negatives in being in this field?
9) What do you consider an important factor to keep in mind while getting into this field?

Thank you!
10) Are you interested in psychology or teacher or both?
What kind of children do you work with? What kind of needs to they have?
