“Majoring in Elementary Education has taught me so much about how I am able to use my gifts and talents and incorporate it into one of my other passions, teaching! I love my major because I get to learn how to teach and educate children and help them realize they can do anything in this world if they believe in themselves. At Warner, I learn from several different talented professors who once taught in the classroom themselves. This program taught me how to teach to all students no matter what their background.”
