My Major

For many college students choosing a major is a very stressful decision. Many freshman begin college with a major which is undecided or they change it a number of different times throughout the next few years. However I knew exactly what I wanted to specialize in when I began college.

Since I was as young as 4, I can always remember I loved to play with kids and had so many dolls. As I grew up I would beg my mom to take me into work with her so I could help teach her students. I had always loved teaching and I think a huge part of that came from my mom being a teacher.

While she taught "special ed" I was unsure whether that was the right field for myself. My senior year in high school I took part in a internship with very low functioning special education students. I found myself getting extremely attached to all the students in there, which made it very difficult.

After finishing up my internship I realized that may not be the best suitable field to go into, so I decided that my major would be elementary education instead. So far I have taken part in some classes which I observed kindergarten and fourth grade students and absolutely love it!
