My time at Emory & Henry has been some of the best years of my life. I learned so much from the school and the staff. I was pushed to be my best even when I didn’t think I was capable, and by working closely with my education peers, I developed a sense of pride and determination to be the best teacher (or student teacher) I could possibly be. I had confidence in my education and knew that Emory only prepared the best of teachers. While I could have gone to a cheaper school, I wholeheartedly believe that if I had not gone to Emory I would not be the educator I am today.
