Equipping you with the tools you need to succeed.
College Degree vs. Skill Set
South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, Nelson Mandela, has been attributed to saying, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world". (Strauss, 2013). Not many would argue with this statement; however, what is meant by the term "education" could be debated. The google dictionary defines education as "the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university". The exact same source also defines education as "an enlightening experience". Dictionary.com defines education as "the act or process of imparting or acquiring particular knowledge or skills, as for a profession". As one can see, there are many variations of the definition of education. Just as numerous are the avenues deemed acceptable for attaining a proper education. Education is key to success; education is key to changing the world.

Student Teacher Struggles
Once you have made it through four years of college education to get to the career of your dreams, you are then placed in a classroom where you learn about the things to do and not do when you become a full-certified teacher. As someone who has always dreamed of being an elementary school teacher, this year is one that I have been looking forward to since I first started college. Now that I am here, I can say that there are some things that I never thought I would experience, from dealing with graduate courses to dealing with emotional needs of my students. I have officially made it through half of the year and there is plenty to share with fellow student teachers about struggles you may face once you make it this far.
