Lindsay Young

Twenty-five-year-old Lindsay Young goes to work every morning and knows she will make a difference. Young is a special education teacher at Mt. Airy Elementary school in the third, fourth, and fifth grades.

As Young helps students to get their start in learning, she recalls fondly where she got her start. Young is a 2001 graduate of Carroll Community College. She has an Associate of Arts degree in Arts and Sciences. After completing her Carroll education, she transferred to Towson University. Young graduated from there in 2005.

“In addition to my general education classes, I took some introductory education courses at Carroll, which sparked my interest in the field. I always thought I might want to be a teacher. I like working with people. Carroll helped me to reach my goal to get a rewarding job,” Young said.
“Every day, I know I have helped a student who has had a difficult time in learning. The favorite subject I teach is reading. I love it because I love to tell children stories,” Young said. “I have Carroll to thank for this wonderful opportunity.”

Young said she frequently recommends the college to friends and acquaintances because she was so pleased with the education she received.

The Manchester resident said she also loves to spend time working with students in after-school activities. “At the school where I teach, I mentor a club called the ‘24 Club’ for fourth and fifth graders,” Young said. Students manipulate numbers by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing single digit numbers to equal the number 24. The students are practicing for a countywide tournament in Carroll County this spring.

Young said she is grateful for the opportunities that have resulted from a Carroll degree. She feels happy when she sees her special education students reap the benefits of her training.
