Blog Assignment 3: What Major Will I Choose?

Initially I was a Political Science major, but switched to Education because I didn't see a future in Political Science. I switched to education because I want to help kids learn, and to do so I determined the best way to accomplish that would be to become a high school teacher. For me high school was not a good experience, simply because the instructors that I had didn't care about the course material, nor were they fond of their students. It was the ultimate academic trap, where kids that weren't cared about didn't receive and education because the only thing more apathetic than them were the teachers. To get more information on that, I went down to the Department of Education down at Kennesaw State and asked how I could achieve what I wanted to achieve. I talked with several former teachers and they helped me plan out a course guide to what I should accomplish and when. I selected Kennesaw State because it was closer to my family, it was located in Georgia and it was an affordable option for me. Kennesaw State is more than just a new school, it's a whole new experience. It's my first four year university that I have been to, and it's actually really helpful for me to be able to see a future for myself, because I have not had that my whole life. I always thought my education was going to end in high school. Now that I'm here at this point in my life, I'm ready to continue on with it and help others as I do so.
