I am from Traverse City, Michigan and studying to become a teacher. The reason I chose to go to school to become a teacher is that I love working with kids and having a positive impact on their lives.
College is a lot of hard work but also a great deal of fun.
There is a lot of freedom that goes along with college. It is important to be disciplined and to be able make good choices. It is not like living at home and having mom and dad to make sure you are doing your homework. One of the biggest differences from high school to college is that you make up your own schedule. This is great because you can get all your classes at times that you like.
