Let Me Tell You About School Of Education at Charleston Southern University

Let me tell you. Being a teacher is TOUGH. You're about 40 different jobs wrapped into one, yet you get label the 4th grade or 10th grade English teacher. I've heard horror stories about education departments and the teachers that come out of them. I've heard about discouraging, awful professors that turn you away from what you've been called to do. But I've had the opposite experience.

Going into the School of Education at Charleston Southern, I wasn't sure to expect. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, and the Lord knew I needed them.

Dr. Clerico was my first education professor alongside Dr. Siko, both who lit a fire in me. Their passion and love for their past and present students, their care about how we would love our students, and having so much faith in us, even when we didn't ourselves, made the exciting and scary first semester so much better. I couldn't have imagined having better professors and then I got to the next semester. Every Education professor I have had makes me proud to be a teacher.

You could name any education professor and my heart would probably explode. These professors are encouraging, loving, kind, and tough but prepare you, and they all do it through Christ's love. I have had many a time where I felt drained, discouraged and tired. After a few moments with these educators and I'm ready to roll again. They make me see the light at the end of the tunnel, they remind me of the children I'll get to love on eventually, and they remind me that it's all in God's plan.

I could not be more thankful, appreciative, excited and prepared to be a teacher, and it's all thanks to these INCREDIBLE professors. They radiate God's love and it's incredible apparent though their words, their actions and their love.

So if you're even considering being a teacher, Charleston Southern University is where it's at.

(Also special shout out to Dr. Clerico, Dr. Siko, Dr. Franklin, Dr. Winchester, Dr. Barendse, Dr. Houston, Dr. Sims, and Dr. Floyd[even though Dr. Floyd, Dr. Barendse, and Dr. Sims aren't in school of Ed]: you all have all influenced me greatly in ways I couldn't have imagined. Thank you for pouring into me, I will forever be thankful for you.)

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
