Lindsay Wells prepares for the first day of her new career.
“I’m a little nervous just cause it is something new,” said Wells, a first grade teacher at Morris Slingluff Elementary School.“I’ve been a police officer with the city of Dothan ,” said Wells. “It was nine-and-a-half years, almost ten.”Seeing those students in tough situations called her to make an impact.
“I started learning that I may not be able to change the parent, but I still have a big influence on the kids,” said Wells. “That’s where it started pushing me toward, ‘Hey, let me get in the room and show them that people do understand where they’re coming from, or how they live, or how they learn is a little different,’ so, I knew I could make a difference somewhere else.”
Going from Officer Wells to Mrs. Wells is sure to be a challenge, but it’s safe to say that she’s up for it.“Some kids want to go to school because that’s where they know they’re safe and they’re taken care of,” said Wells. “That’s another plus to know that I can influence the kids here and it’ll go home with them as well.”“It’s neat for them to realize that they can do anything they put their minds to,” said Wells.
