As graduation approaches, many students have already begun preparing for their futures; Katie Price is no exception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price, an English and secondary education double major, is preparing for the teaching profession and is leaving behind some of her wisdom for incoming education majors to take with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

College can be stressful, especially when students participate in many activities. However, this is good for developing skills helpful for multitasking, which jobs will require. Price herself is considering how she can incorporate this into her future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe most helpful element of my college experience has been my observation and student teaching experiences,\u201d Price said. \u201cStarting in the classroom helped me to see teaching practically, separate from being a student. Everything I\u2019ve done since then has been a learning experience that will help me build confidence in my teaching career. In-classroom experiences that were built into my courses were the perfect foundation for my future career.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At LVC, Price is a Valley Ambassador, involved in music ensembles and a member of the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority. She attributes her preparedness for the classroom to these experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving the opportunity to be involved in a variety of organizations on campus helped me see the importance of things outside of schoolwork,\u201d Price said. \u201cThis created an open presence in the classroom and the ability to support students involved in various activities outside of the classroom.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that student teaching has concluded, there is room for internal reflection; Price can now consider what she wants her classroom to be like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am most excited to have the opportunity to decorate my own classroom and create a space that students feel comfortable in,\u201d Price said. \u201cI am most nervous to step into a new environment and work with new people. I am also nervous to have full responsibility of teaching students on me instead of sharing that responsibility with another teacher.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the pressure of being the sole resource in your classroom is significant, Price\u2019s hands-on experience has prepared her well, thanks to four years of practice under the supervision of LVC\u2019s education department.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI see myself being successful in building bonds with students,\u201d Price said. \u201cDuring my semester of student teaching, I attended sporting events and musicals that my students participated in. It has been so great to get to know them all and connect with them on their interests. My various experiences connecting with peers and other members of the LVC community helped me with creating those connections with students.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of her college career, Price is thankful that she chose to pursue a degree in education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe advice I would give anyone considering a major in English with a concentration in education is to just dive in,\u201d Price said. \u201cIf you don\u2019t take that first step, you\u2019ll never know if teaching could be the pathway for you. It ever hurts to take that chance and see if it\u2019s something you could love.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, Price is looking forward to the next few years of her life.\u00a0\u00a0She\u2019s\u00a0accepted a job teaching 9th<\/sup>\u00a0and 10th<\/sup>\u00a0grade English at Hamburg High School.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
