Entry Into the Education Program

The process of applying to the elementary education program has been long and tiresome. There were a lot of checkpoints that I had to complete before I was ready to submit my application. There was also a lot of information to sort out and get together, along with essays and summaries to write. I had to meet with my advisor multiple times in order to ensure that my application would be fully complete. I was relieved when I finally was able to hit that submit button. But, then came the hardest part.

After submitting the application it was time to start the interview process. I was so nervous before I went to my interview, I could not stand it. All I could think was that this interview was going to determine my entire future. If I'm not accepted into the program for next semester, I really have no back up plan. There are no more classes for me to take without being in the program. The interview really determined a lot for me and I drove myself crazy with anxiety and nervousness. But, I calmed myself down by telling myself that this is what I am meant to be doing, and the interviewers will be able to see that by me just being myself. There was no reason to go in there and be something that I wasn't. I was going to be myself, answer the questions, and give the interview all that I got.


I believe that the interview went really well. I hope that my passion for teaching was relevant through my interview. I thought about each question that was asked and I answered with honesty and knowledge. I also was able to tell the interviewers a little about some of my experiences so far in the teaching field.
Now is the hardest part. All I can do is wait for the results.


I've been going stir crazy for almost a week now. The hardest part is not knowing if I am going to be accepted or not. I believe with my high academic achievements and successful interview, that I will be accepted. However, anything can happen and I have to be ready for whatever decision the education committee makes. Becoming an elementary school teacher is my dream, and I hope that I am given the opportunity to make that dream a reality.
