When I look back at my journey so far with NGU and the Elementary Education program, one word seems to epitomize my experience. That word is "care.” It is evident that each and every education professor cares very deeply about education and the future teachers they are raising up. Because of that, my own care for the students that will be entrusted to me has greatly increased as I learn of areas that are lacking in the school system.

One of the things I love most about North Greenville University’s ELED program is that the professors care about the students at a personal level and are passionate about equipping us to be transformational teachers who care about students this way as well.
