My College Experience

  • Design School!

    Design School!
    I went to the International School of Design and Technology, and tourned the campus. I had been accepted to attend their design program!
  • CSI

    CSI
    With some money issues, I wasnt able to attend the design college. It was a school that would cost me 30k a year, and that kind of debt was not something I wanted to be in. Also, it was 8 hours away from my family and I didnt want to be so far away from them. So I applied to CSI and started my first semester
  • Disappointed

    Disappointed
    Jumping right into college, with an unrealistic attitude towards school I soon learned I was in way over my head and decied to "take a semester off" This soon led to many years of on and off again college.
  • Preschool???

    Preschool???
    While having long gaps between school and taking time off I started working at a preschool. A roomate introducted me to the atmosphere. She worked there, and I was looking for a job so I applied and got it. I started working the 3-6 shift, and eventually ended up falling in love with teaching. I became the supervisor of my building, and decided to go to school for teaching.
  • Changing Ideas...again

    Changing Ideas...again
    Even though I knew in my heart I wanted to be a teacher, I was under the impression that how much money I would make would dertermine the type of life I could have . So I went from one major and one idea to the other again. Wasting time, money and my completion rate. But there was always this little teaching bug inside my soul because I kept on teaching preschool.
  • Nevada

    Nevada
    By this time, teaching as a profession was out of the question. I really thought that I would be making the wrong choice by having a teachers salary. I moved to nevada to attend UNLV, but that never ended up happening because I had to work so much in order to live there. While I was there I worked as an infant teacher at a center in Henderson.
  • Trials

    Trials
    Eventually I had my fill of working my butt off to live in an apartment I hardley ever saw. I moved back to Twin falls, and I took a semester at CSI, not really sure of what I wanted to do, but wanted to prove I could get through a semester with good grades. and I did just that. But I was going through some very personal problems, it was a very depressing and unhealthy time for my health and I quit school altogether.
  • Psalm 61:2

    Psalm 61:2
    After some much needed soul searching, and gaining the confidence I needed to go after what I wanted I made the choice to not remake any other choices. I will be a teacher, and a very good one. The income, the hours, the money out of your own pocket, I could care less about. It is something that truly makes me happy and I cannot wait until I finish college.
