CSU Chico fund for Emily Byrd

BrowseEducationTuition
For as long as I can remember I wanted to go to college.  I always felt as if it was part of the journey I was meant to take in the process of becoming whom I am meant to be   My parents told me that I would need to spend  the first two years going to a local community college taking the required general Ed classes rather than taking these same classes at a university  But this is not the path I want to take.  With your help I can follow my dream and experience college in its entirety.   My goal is to pursue a degree in business and education.
I currently work part time as a teacher's aide at a local Montessori preschool.  I started working there at the beginning of my Senior and plan on continuing working there until I leave for college.  As a young girl I always thought I would like to be a teacher; it seemed like a fun job that could prove very rewarding.  These past twelve months have made me realize that teaching is something I love! Spending time with the children and seeing them grow and learn has been so rewarding these past twelve months.  It's made merealize that teaching is a career I definitely want to pursue.  In fact, my dream is to one day run my own Montessori school.
