One of my favorite memories is watching (and sometimes being included) in the mostly controlled chaos of theatre rehearsals.

What is your thesis topic and why did you choose it?

The title of my thesis is “Building a Better Beginning: Preserving Creativity and Promoting Development in Early Education.” I chose the topic of early education because I care deeply for children and hope to be a mother someday.

Learning in a Christian environment has allowed me to grow with teachers who care about me and want to help me succeed.

Don’t get caught up in drama. It can be hurtful to other people and will give your classmates unfavorable memories of you in the future
