Hey Courtney! I am also an education major who switched from nursing. I knew graduating from high school I wanted to work with children, but after my first few nursing classes I quickly decided I'd rather teach them then help them when their sick. I'm not as fortunate as you when it come to living close to campus. Commuting is horrible! I also love the beach, the pool & snowboarding. I'm actually going boarding on Monday; they were running a really good deal on season passes this year at Massanutten. I can't say that I love the Cow Boys; my fiancé is a Redskins fan so I really don't have a choice! I love to read as well, what type of books do you like? I really want to teach first grade, and I plan on doing it somewhere in this area as well. I totally agree with you when you say teachers aren't made. A lot of people who decide to teach think that it’s something they will learn, the compassion and patients. Turns out they are the teachers that everyone ends up hating. Good luck with you senior year!

Hi other Courtney, I too am one who toyed with the idea of being a nurse my first year. I see the person above me had the same notion. I thought it my be the practical way to go, but I did not enjoy the classes or the possible job prospects. That's admirable that you would like to work with younger kids. I don't know if I could handle it. Your teaching philosophy rings true. It certainly seems as if teachers are born. We all have a go at different things in life, but, as is the case with us it seems, we are all drawn back to education. Anyway, good luck with the rest of your semester!
