Kylie Chandler is a Sophomore here at Morningside University getting ready to wrap up her fist semester as a Sophomore before heading off to new adventures. 

Kylie grew up in a small Iowa town named Casey. Casey is situated right along Iowa’s Interstate 80. 

Kylie is from a big family. Having grown up with 6 siblings Kylie has had her fair share of sibling rivalries. But one sibling Kylie is closest to. That is Jay. Kylie’s older brother Jay is the reason she does what she does. 

Here at Morningside Kylie studies Elementary Education and Special Education. Kylie’s brother Jay has autism. He has inspired her to become a Special Education Teacher. Kylie also says Jay “Motivates” her to keep striving to help people with Special Needs. 

Kylie chose Morningside because of its thriving Sharon Walker School of Education. Kylie also believed that Morningside could help accomplish her goals and get her on the path to success. 

Here at Morningside Kylie joined the ISEA which is the Iowa State Education Association. Last year, halfway through her freshman year Kylie took over as President of ISEA at Morningside. After getting elected President Kylie was offered the position of Delegate to the State Association to represent Morningside. 

Kylie has learned a lot of new ideas, concepts, and many other things with her time spent in ISEA. Kylie has since stepped down as President of the Morningside ISEA but has continued to represent Morningside as a State Delegate. Kylie will leave her position at the end of the semester but will continue to work as a Delegate to ISEA with her new University come next spring.

Another student, Jadie Duryee, has gotten to know Kylie Chandler. Jadie and Kylee are roommates and they met during an Education Class. Jadie says that Kylie is “Dedicated” to becoming a teacher. Jadie also says that Kylie “thrives to help kids with special needs.”

Both Alexus and Jaide agree that Kylie will make a good teacher in the future. They also agreed that her dedication is like another when it comes to Kylie and teaching Special Need Students.
