Why i decided to go to college

 I decided to go to college because I felt I like  the job I was at was not my dream job. I thought that I wanted to be a hair stylist when I got out of high school, I went to Vatterotte College and got my cosmologist license and starting working in a salon and started to realize that is not a job I enjoyed. I love doing hair on the side just not on a day to day agenda. I always work in a daycare and I love working with kids and I have always wanted to be a elementary teacher, so I decided I would go back to school to pursue my dream. I also a little girl in one of my class that has inspired me to be a teacher in special education. I love being the one to make a difference in people life. So that is the reason I have decided to go back to college. Also the fact that being a teacher, and having I kids I would get all the same days off as them and I would not have to find addition childcare.

How my interview process went.

I dont think any questions that reamin. I think i have enough information to write my paper.
It went good when i  actually got the time to do it. She would either have something to do or i would have something come up so it was hard to meet up.
We started to conduct it at her house but, she had something come up and couldnt do it, so in the end she just emailed me the answers to the questions.
I learned that she worked really hard to achieve what he has, and also felt like she missed out on what her kids were doing.
Im still troubled on how im actually going to transition it to my writting process
I'm still concerned with how to actually turn my interview questions into a story.
I expect to overcome them with your feed back and also my peers feedback.

Becoming educated writers response question 1

What education means to me?

Education to me means success. Anymore these days you have to have some kind of education if u want to be successful in this economy. When looking and competing for jobs, they are always going to look for the person with a higher education. Education also means determination to me. If you are determined you will go far in life and let nothing set u back including getting the education to be a successful person in life.
