Aaron Davlin was a 27-year-old student who was overwhelmed with work, school, and family responsibilities. He initially failed most of his classes and dropped out of college after his first semester. He later returned to school to pursue a career in nutrition but struggled in science courses and felt hopeless. Through retaking classes and changing his major to psychology, he was able to earn an Associate's degree and transfer to complete his Bachelor's at Fresno State. He realized his calling was to become a teacher to help young minds, as teaching allowed him to work with people. He was determined to keep his promise to graduate, which he would accomplish in December with the confidence and experiences to become an empathetic teacher.
