Motivation and Resources a Deciding Factor for Aspiring Educator:\u00a0 <\/strong>I knew that I wanted to go back to school, but I did not want a degree that didn’t lead to a career. I\u00a0knew that I really wanted to work with children and thought about becoming a teacher. Becoming a teacher gives me a preferred\u00a0schedule without many late nights\u00a0and I knew there would be jobs by the time I graduated from the ESE program<\/a>. After doing research, I decided to attend SPC due to the low tuition costs, flexible class schedules,\u00a0WOW program<\/a> recommendation and close proximity to my home.\u00a0 All the resources I would need to be successful.<\/p>\n

In order to be eligible for scholarships through WOW<\/a>, students must apply through the foundation, have their MLP completed,\u00a0cumulative\u00a0GPA of at least 2.8, be a degree seeking student,\u00a0attend at least 6\u00a0SPC workshops\/WOW meetings and volunteer at least 20 hours a semester. It sounds like a lot but most students are eligible.\u00a0 I\u00a0joined my second semester attending SPC. Ever since joining I have been attending meetings at the\u00a0Clearwater campus and Seminole campus, volunteering to remain eligible for scholarships and representing WOW at community events.\u00a0 All great opportunities!<\/p>\n

I have received several scholarships that have allowed me to attend college full time in order to graduate with my Bachelor’s Degree in four years start to finish. WOW has also<\/p>\n

completed my wardrobe with several full suits, jackets, pants, blouses and dresses. WOW gave me my entire teacher wardrobe and Rosemary (WOW staff)\u00a0knows I love my “teacher cardigans.”<\/p>\n

In addition to scholarships and textbooks, WOW has chosen me as one of their Christmas families. WOW donors (community members, SPC staff, former WOW graduates)\u00a0are given\u00a0a WOW student. They supply the student and her family with a Christmas. This was beyond anything that I ever\u00a0expected and I am very thankful to the people that made it happen.<\/p>\n

Several people have made a difference during my time at SPC.\u00a0 Mrs. Crumbley at WOW <\/a>made me feel very welcomed and always\u00a0 looked out for all of her students. Rosemary and Ms. Mary at the Clearwater WOW office always welcome me by name.<\/p>\n

Evelyn Madera at Seminole SPC welcomed me into her office and sought out resources for me many times. WOW was the deciding factor to stay at SPC for my Bachelor’s Degree; I still feel like this was the best decision I ever made!<\/p>\n

In the College of Education,<\/a> getting to know my professors has been very easy. Our classes are very small compared to universities so my professors know me by name. Dr. Hoeh and<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Dr. Marie Biggs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dr. Dupoux in the ESE department always offer great advice for being out in the field. I know that I can go to their office hours and they have always made time and motivated me. Dr. Biggs has been just the best professor and I have had her for all my RED (reading) courses. I feel very prepared after her class to teach students that are at every reading level. She chose me as one of her summer<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Dr. Wanda Santos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

tutors for Ready Set Read<\/a> during my junior year.\u00a0Dr. Santos\u00a0and Dr. Hoeh\u00a0have been excellent resources for preparing for the Pro\u00a0Ed with their Pro Ed training course (passed it on the first try!) Opportunities and resources!<\/p>\n

Dr. Santos\u00a0 answered all my questions on preparing for teaching in Florida.\u00a0Since this is SPC,\u00a0 all the resources are\u00a0 complimentary. Dr. Brodney gave me excellent feedback on my actual lesson plans that I taught in class and in the field. Now going into my second practicum and senior year, I feel very prepared to teach.\u00a0 So look out for me Spring 2017 when I graduate<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n
