After graduation I plan on attending Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and major in Elementary Education and special Ed. I came to the decision to go to college after my brother graduated from college. I saw how proud my family was for my brother and I wanted to be the second person to graduate from college in my family. I believe that I would be a good elementary teacher because I like working with little kids. Another thing that helped me with deciding that I wanted to be an elementary teacher was when I talked to Mrs. McCall about my plans after high school. She told me that if I ever needed a placement that shed allow me to be placed in her classroom. I think that being placed in the school I’ve  grown up in would be excellent! I have been researching and looking over the universities website. Some things I feel I need to figure out is the how I am going to pay for college and also how I am going to schedule my classes. The first thing I started to research was the cost to attend Edinboro. On the website the I found the [|Tuition cost] and the [|Room] and board cost. Edinboro is not a very expensive college but it is one that I need to probably take out[|loans] for. On the Edinboro website it estimates that each school year costs approximentally 9,241.88. This is expensive but with loans it will be payed off eventually. I estimate that with four years of schooling my cost is going to be around 36,967.52, this does not include the posibility of me moving off campus after freshman year which is very possible. The cost of college is overwhelming and very difficult to realize how much money we have to pay. I am going to be paying for college independently, due to the fact that my mother doesn’t have the money to afford the cost of college. Another thing I researched  was how I was going to schedule and also the classes that were offered to me. On the website it gives you directions to how you are supposed to [|schedule] they also include a list of classes offered! The next thing i looked for in this project was the activities offered at Edinboro. I found the different athletics and also the different types of groups offered. One thing that caught my interest on the website was that they offered a outdoor recreation program which included camping and fishing. I love the outdoors and camping is something i enjoy!!! I also found that they have many fitness centers around campus so if i decide that I need to shed the pounds it would be offered for me. Going to college is important to me and I hope I am successful in what I do!
