“I specifically chose Indiana State because of its teaching program. No other school I looked at had anything that compared to TOTAL (Teachers of Tomorrow Advanced Learning) program and being able to have an extra semester going into schools. As an education major at Indiana State, I started my freshman year going to elementary schools and was able to see early on if this field was where I want to spend rest of my working life. Luckily for me, it is.”
