Why I came to college

I've wanted to be a teacher since I was, umm, perhaps fifth grade. What I do for fun back home is to play 'school' with my little sister, who is six years younger than I. That however could be another blog perhaps someday. So I've had an internal passion to be a teacher. Why music though? I chose to be a music teacher in the beginning of twelfth grade. Well, actually a performer, and my music teacher pushed me for teaching it too.
I narrowed it down and applied to three great music education schools, Ithaca;Syracuse and SUNY Fredonia. Got in all three and went with Fredonia State for its education and music reputation.
I was probably the most motivated and stead-fast girl you'd ever meet that year. Actually, I'm a little impressed with myself. I heard of the great competition in music school entries so I knew I had to push myself to get ahead. At the same time however I was managing my time as the senior president, council of five other clubs and traveling about the county for political and cultural luncheons. This has to do with my motivations and struggles to go to the university for so many reasons. I didn't lose faith nor gave up.
I worked on the side too to earn money for my private bassoon lessons in a nearby town. I went there weekly and practiced hardcore every week. I knew time was trickling so I had to push to get it all in. There is no suspense in this blog- I got in to my music schools.
Being the first generation in my family to go to college is stressful but also gives me strength to make it happen. I'm impressed with the financial opportunities available to my family and I. I got a good deal with Fredonia from the workable bill to the demanding curriculum and most impressivly I was sold on Fredonia's community and campus atmosphere. I am pleased with SUNY Fredonia because of its advanced techniques and continual efforts to push our minds ecclectically and in a forward manner. I feel confident that I will earn a worthwhile degree and learn a heck of a lot on the way.
