Yes! I played soccer, tennis, and basketball. I was also a part of the National Honor Society, Student Council, Campus Ministry, Student Ambassadors, and the Adopt-a-Sis program.<\/p>\n
What are you planning on studying at Ball State?<\/span><\/h3>\nElementary Education\/Special Education<\/p>\n
What makes you want to become an educator\/teacher?<\/span><\/h3>\nI have experienced the difference it can make to have a good teacher from just an average teacher. Whether a certain subject is of interest should not matter because a good teacher should be able to make the class attentive and interested. I am able to learn so much more when the teacher is invested in me and my learning capabilities. I plan to be this type of teacher for many students and to encourage a love for learning in others.<\/p>\n
What made you choose Ball State?<\/span><\/h3>\nBall State has a great reputation for their Teachers College and so I knew that I would be getting a great education. I also really like the size of the school and the campus.<\/p>\n
When you think about heading to college in the fall, is there something you are most excited about\/looking forward to?<\/span><\/h3>\nI am most looking forward to meeting new people and expanding my knowledge for my chosen major.<\/p>\n
Do you have any hobbies? If so, what?<\/span><\/h3>\nI love to read, enjoy the sunshine, and play tennis.<\/p>\n
Fun fact about yourself: <\/span><\/h3>\nI have 5 younger siblings.<\/p>\n
Congratulations Alyssa!<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thirty-three of the 200 high-achieving high school and college students who were awarded a Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education will be attending Ball State University in the fall.

I have experienced the difference it can make to have a good teacher from just an average teacher. Whether a certain subject is of interest should not matter because a good teacher should be able to make the class attentive and interested. I am able to learn so much more when the teacher is invested in me and my learning capabilities. I plan to be this type of teacher for many students and to encourage a love for learning in others.<\/p>\n
What made you choose Ball State?<\/span><\/h3>\nBall State has a great reputation for their Teachers College and so I knew that I would be getting a great education. I also really like the size of the school and the campus.<\/p>\n
When you think about heading to college in the fall, is there something you are most excited about\/looking forward to?<\/span><\/h3>\nI am most looking forward to meeting new people and expanding my knowledge for my chosen major.<\/p>\n
Do you have any hobbies? If so, what?<\/span><\/h3>\nI love to read, enjoy the sunshine, and play tennis.<\/p>\n
Fun fact about yourself: <\/span><\/h3>\nI have 5 younger siblings.<\/p>\n
Congratulations Alyssa!<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thirty-three of the 200 high-achieving high school and college students who were awarded a Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education will be attending Ball State University in the fall.
