Finally Accepted to the Early Childhood Program

I had applied to the college of Education back in January and on April 1st, (april fools day) I got a letter stating I was accepted into their program. Finally, it only took 3 months to process. Another exciting news to share is that I got a scholarship for First Generation Scholarship. This scholar ship is available to any student  whose parents did not complete high school and has a 3.0 G.P.A. I am thrilled to know that I got this scholarship, the money is sure needed. Students and fellow students, please do research on what you can be eligible for. If you are hispanic, black, asian, native americans and you live in Florida, you can apply for minority scholarship. I believe it is 2000 a semester, hey thats money that can easily be given just based on where your from. Another trick to receive more money on FASFA, there is an option to where it ask you where do you live? on campus, off campus, or with parent. If you live at home, click Off campus.  You will be given more money than if you picked at with parent. For the past 4 years of my college (university level for 2 years) I have had my entire college education paid for. I am white decent with little bit of money, however I am considered low income because of my family history, however, because of these findings that I had found by doing researching, I got my entire college education paid for. Do your research people! it really does pay off. Get off Facebook and research! Go to college, yes you can do it!

Welcome to a new teacher to society...

Hello readers,

My name is Melissa and I am a beginner blogger but mostly a beginner teacher that is about to graduate from my local university. I am extremely nervous but anxious to begin, however I have so many concerns and questions that I hope you can help me and in return I can help you with any teacher or college related.

So where to begin? Well I think a good place to start is my college history. I began college; I should really say a technical school August of 2007 at Everest Institute, I majored in medical assisting and what a complete waste, I don't want to offend anyone who is in this profession, but I felt I was lied and manipulate into the program. After I graduated I got a job at infectious disease office which was experience I will never forget. However, the doctors I worked for were extremely hard to please (there were 7 doctors in one tiny office). Any who, this frustration brought me the courage to start college at my local community college. I did one year of pre request and then the following year (2009) I started taking regular classes. Well it wasn't till 2011 (april I should say) where I decided nursing nor the medical field was right for me, so that is when I took a big leap of fate and change my major 1 month before I was declared for graduation. I got accepted into 2 universities UCF and FIU but I decided to stay home and attend school at FIU. 

I have been at FIU for almost 2 years and I am pleased to say I have learned a lot but I feel that I didn't have to put as much effort into my degree like I think I would have in the nursing program. However, my support team thinks that education is a topic that I am interested in to where learning is effortlessly and obtaining it is magical. I love modern education but mixed with old values. 

I love technology but I do agree that it does not replace the teacher however, an effective teacher can use assistant materials to create many teaching strategies. To the old values, I think  I hope to get viewers who can communicate with me on their personal experience on Home Schooling and County classroom schooling.
