Being an education major is stressful, but beautiful. Finally getting to see how to work a classroom or how to make an impact in a student's life, makes life amazing. Coming home and telling people around you that you are going into education? Not so amazing. Most people don't see education as important or worth the four years or college. Us, education majors, see things so differently. We see the world as an opportunity to educate, to teach, to be a role model, and so many more things. So here are a couple things that we are sick of hearing:
1. "You won't make any money."
Why should I base my happiness off of money? If I am happy, then that is all that matters.
2. "What about the bad students?"
All students have different needs. Some more than others, but teachers are the ones that help guide to better life choices and to make students see their potential.
3. "You won't be happy."
I have heard this over, and over again. Other people should not drag you down or have someone else determine your happiness.
4. " You're going through four years of college to not even be able to pay your loans back."
This goes back to making money. I hear this one more than anything, and I hate it the most. I will be able to take care of myself, and my loans.
I don't want this article to see all negative. Teachers are wonderful, and being able to go through with an education major shows so much strength.
