I am Nicole, an elementary education major at Michigan
State University. I have a passion for helping people which likely has
something to do with my desire to be a teacher. I am convinced that my
high school job was the best job I will ever have because I got to teach music
to children. That job influenced by
career and major choice as I began to realize how sad I will be to leave my
kids at the music school. A project I
started with Girl Scouts also influenced my career decision. In high school I started a program to help
new troop leaders adjust to the position by leading the first few meetings and
providing the leaders with a surplus of materials and suggestions for how to
make a troop successful. Throughout high
school I worked with a total of three troops ranging in size from 5 girls to 27
girls. The dynamics of each troop were
quite different, as you might imagine, but it definitely gave me good
experience being flexible in lesson planning.
As a student and person, I really enjoy learning and
being productive. When I'm by myself I spend my free time doing something
beneficial for myself or others such as learning, playing music, or exercising.
As a result, when I am interested in a topic and see the value in it, I am a
hard worker but I don't enjoy busy work. I spend most evenings at yoga,
zumba, Bible study, or an education related club meeting.
