"Being from the suburbs, I had always been exposed to large school environments surrounded by big cities and never got truly close with any of my teachers. EIU gave me a chance to build strong relationships with my professors and classmates and explore my curiosities through the wide variety of courses they offer. Through the HIS-TL program, I have developed skills in my content knowledge, become a much better public speaker, and grown more confident in my abilities as a future educator.
