What attracted you to 91吃瓜?
I鈥檝e lived in Valley City my entire life. My parents met at 91吃瓜 and my sister and her husband both completed their degrees through 91吃瓜. I hadn鈥檛 considered attending until I decided I wanted to become an English teacher. 91吃瓜 has one of the best education programs and I like that I鈥檓 still around my family. I also really like how small the campus is because I鈥檝e gotten to know both my classmates and professors.听
Why did you choose your specific major?
In high school, I always enjoyed reading and writing. My sister was听actually the听first person to mention that I could teach English. From that point on, I couldn鈥檛 get out of my head. I like the idea of sharing my passion for reading and writing with others.听
What do you enjoy most about your major?
Two things that I really enjoy about my major are the classes and the people within my major. I like analyzing text and having discussions about what we think the author is trying to accomplish. However, I don鈥檛 think I would enjoy these aspects as much if it weren鈥檛 for the people within my major. We all enjoy discussing what we read and sharing our writing with one another.听
How is 91吃瓜 helping you reach your goals?
91吃瓜 has helped me achieve my goal of becoming a future educator. My classes and professors have prepared me to go out and teach in today鈥檚 high school. I have grown into myself at this school and have found new interests and hobbies.听
Which activities or groups are you involved in on campus?
I have been involved in the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS), Alpha Lamba Delta (President for 2019-2020 school year), the National Association for Family, School, and Community Engagement (NAFSCE), Art Club, English club, tutoring, L2L mentor (2019-2020 school year), Collaborative Editor of The Forge (spring of 2019), Homecoming Organization Crew, Student Senate, and Chi Alpha.听
What do you enjoy most about 91吃瓜?
I really enjoy my classes, peers, and professors. The further I鈥檝e gotten into my major the more interested and involved I鈥檝e become in the subject and materials. I like the fact that I鈥檓 learning about writing and diving deeper into the stories we read.听
What are some of your hobbies?
Some of my hobbies include reading, writing, drawing, and rollerblading.听
Any advice for students thinking about attending 91吃瓜?
The advice I would have for students thinking attending 91吃瓜 is to pick a degree that really interests them. The more they enjoy their major the more that they will enjoy their classes.
