The deeper I got into my concentration areas the more I started second guessing my choices. After failing to pass the praxis core to advance in the education program, I was at a cross road in my collegiate career.

Although, I have no regrets for those two years I major in education because it allows me to grow professionally and it help be build relationships with phenomenal individuals.
