To change or not to change.....

My major that is. I have been thinking and talking with friends and family about my future as an elementary school teacher. I am contemplating on changing my major to Middle Grades Education with a primary concentration in Math and a secondary concentration in Science. I can't believe I have never doubted my choice I made four years ago until exactly halfway through college.

One reason for the contemplation of a new major is the fact that there are so many candidates out there for Early Childhood Education. It seems everyone is going that route and with the economy in the shape that it is in many elementary school teachers are being laid off and few are hired.

I love working with younger children and that is where the majority of my experience is from working at daycares and babysitting. It isn't until recently that I have been exposed to middle school students, other than when I was that age myself. I have substituted at the middle school and to my surprise enjoyed it. I am at a point now where I need some advice before I make a final decision.

One major thing that will affect my decision is time. I have busted my butt to stay on track in college and make it out in no more than four years(8 semesters). According to my calculations, I have only taken 3 extra courses so far that do not fit in the MGE curriculum. That puts me 9 hours behind. If I take one course extra each semester I will be caught up. I will take a heavier load than normal but I think I can do it.

Overall, I think either choice I make will be right for me. Either way I will be working with children and that truly is my passion.

Until next time,
Suzi

Hallelujah!
