  • College Decision

    College Decision
    I decided to further my education at Shawnee State and join the baseball program. I chose Early Childhood Education as my major because our assistant baseball coach, KW Sexton, was an elementary school teacher. He was my role model.

  • Intro to Education

    Intro to Education
    I took my first education class at Shawnee State with professor Ryan Gamm. This class increased my interest in education and gave me time in the field, which made becoming a teacher more of a realization.
  • Summer Ethics Class

    Summer Ethics Class
    After taking Ethics over the course of the summer and gaining interest in philosophy, I began to see things from different perspectives. This includes the way I view public education. I now see teaching as the most important profession in the world.

    Teaching Phonics
    I enrolled in Teaching Phonics with professor Tryphina Robinson. I expect to be fully capable of teaching children to read, write, and spell after completing the course assignments.
