Meet Michaela: TRIO Future Educator Success Program

I found out about the program when they were there for orientation. And they also contacted me since I've always been an education major.

It has been very good honestly. It's a family so when I have good days and bad days they're always here. I know that I can come to the TRIO FESP room and have people to talk to and listen to me rant about things that do not matter to them. So, it's really nice and it's been a good experience for me.

They've been very helpful and supportive. It's always been easy to find somebody to talk to and I never find a problem with communication when it comes to emailing or calling or just setting up a appointment.

During COVID I switched from special education to elementary because I really like science and I wanted to keep that as a minor.

I have found a handful of professors that I can reach out to now as a senior and just talk to them about like things that I need help with in the program. So that's been really nice.

I chose Western because my mom went here and it's not too far away from home. It is far enough to where you know it's a trip to go back but it's not too far where it's a problem.

I guess my advice would be go for it. If you feel like you want to be a part of the elementary education program then apply. If it works out it works out, if it doesn't you will find another program.
