The Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education has provided me a home here at OU. I truly have found my place of belonging on campus and friends that I can rely on. Everything I have learned I have directly used in classroom experiences during observations. Deciding and committing to my education major was the best decision I have made at OU, and the faculty has always supported me. Professors have helped me with assignments, the resources on campus have helped me through my career path, and my student organizations have provided a sense of community and friends that are working toward a larger goal.
