Pendley started in 1993 and expects to finish her undergraduate degree in elementary education next summer. She explains that the length of her college career stems from changing her major five times. Pendley said she finally realized her passion in life when she spent time substitute teaching at West Washington Elementary School in Pekin last year. Pendley also juggles volunteerism through her involvement with several IU Southeast student organizations, including the Adult Student Center and the Non-Traditional Student Union. In her essay, Pendley noted the struggles she has faced, which has included helping one of her children overcome depression, and enduring financial hardships.
