Carter Eggert

Special Education Para

Hello my name is Mr. Carter. Since I was a child I have had a passion for teaching, for guiding, for igniting that spark that changes the world and If not the world at least the worlds of those I teach.

My path became ever clearer when I started working with living with and just existing around the special needs children, the constant learning how to connect, the wonders of the world through their special lenses. It started putting things into a new perspective and just brought such warmth and joy to my life and I hope to theirs as well. My heart forever grew working with each of them.

My journey, like so many, wasn’t a straight line and I was often and frequently off track. I wasn’t the best at school and it took me forever to achieve my degree. During which I pursued the wrong jobs and wasn’t being true to myself. In the end I found that I had the answer all along. I was meant to be a part of educating and supporting our present and our future. Ever since I started with DPS I have found a happiness and joy and peace that I value and cherish. This community is truly special. We are never done learning, and each and every day we have so many chances to increase our knowledge and grow, do your best to learn from all aspects of life, learn from your children, from a random face on the bus, learning is never limited to the classroom.

I am so thrilled to be a member of the Colfax Elementary family.
