PLACES TO VISIT Emily is a dual-sport athlete excelling in both cross country, where she runs the 5K and 6K, as well as track & field, where she competes in the 800M and the steeplechase. The Elementary Ed major finds that her busy athletic schedule forces her to stay on top of her other responsibilities, which include writing lesson plans for her student teaching experiences. FSU was a natural fit for Emily, who knew she wanted to run competitively and pursue a career as a teacher. Emily began college thinking she would want to teach older elementary school children in grades 4 or 5, because the material is more interesting. But after a second great field placement with younger kids, Emily decided she would be happy with any grade, saying the sense of wonder in the little ones was “spectacular to see.” FSU feels like my home away from home. I can go anywhere on campus, and I know everyone, from my professors to the people working in the dining hall. It’s such a great atmosphere. EMILY N.
