My college career hasn't been the most consistent but it's happened the way that it was suppose to. To be honest, I can't even count how many semesters I've been in college but today I finished another one!
Going to BYU-Idaho for the first two semesters was exactly what I needed at that time of my life. I learned to be on my own and was around friends I had grown up with. But most importantly, I learned how much I truly appreciated the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I loved being in an area that was uplifting no matter which direction you went.
After two years off from school, I transferred to Ball State University. The interesting thing about this school was that it was originally the school I had intended to go to. BYU-Idaho wasn't ever a part of the plan. Ball State had always been the plan when I was in high school mainly because of the Teacher's College.
I have spent nearly three more years working towards a teaching license in Special Education and Elementary Education. I always thought that is what I was suppose to do for multiple reasons, I even put all my eggs in that basket. Until I realized it wasn't what I wanted anymore.
With many breakdowns and some consideration, I realized I was ready to pass the "college" phase of my life. I felt like such a minority in all my classes because I wasn't in a sorority and I was married. I just didn't belong and it wasn't for me anymore. I ended switching my major to General Studies with an emphasis in education. More importantly, it gave me the opportunity to move my graduation date up from Fall 2016 to Spring of 2015!
I never thought my college experiences would be such a roller coaster but I am so grateful I'm getting ready to move to the next chapters of my life with my sweet husband. Through this all, I've really been able to see how the Lord has nudged me along and allowed me to be where I am today.
