TO TEACH OR NOT TO TEACH My journey through college. Lori Hausvater
High School Graduation 1997 I graduated from Liberty High School in Clarksburg, WV on May 1997.
Early College Days In the fall on 1997, I entered WVU as a Business Management and Marketing major.
I sailed through a few more years, looking for that perfect career path. I changed schools and still did not have a definite idea of what I wanted to be when I grew up!
Quitting college. Perhaps not the best idea, but I had been in college for quite a few years and had no goal to work toward.
Going to Dental Assistant School. Being a dental assistant was really fun and I loved it! I got to work with people of all ages and I was completely amazed with teeth!  After I quit college, I decided that I wanted to become a dental assistant.
Working with kids. It was while I was working at a local dentist  office, that I decided that working with kids was something that I would like to do.
Returning to college.
FSU School of Education In the fall of 2003, I returned to school and enrolled in the teacher  education program. Fairmont State University
Teacher Education I did several classroom observations, from Kindergarten to fourth grade.  I loved being the classroom and being able to interact with children!
One year to go! It was the summer of 2005.  I did an entire semester of summer school enrolled full time, so that I could graduate in the spring of 2006.
Big surprise! In June 2005, my husband and I found out that we were expecting a baby!
Kimber Nicole Hausvater Our  daughter  was born on March 20, 2006
I did not return to school after Kimber was born. In May 2006, my husband, Jon, and I purchased a local bar.  We ran the bar for 2 years. PJ Kellys 2006-2008.
Fast Forward to January 2010 I finally went back to school.  I would graduate in May with a Regents Bachelor of Arts degree.  Finally I had a plan.  I would receive my degree, substitute for a few years and work on a new degree that would enable me to teach full time.
May 2010 Finally after thirteen years, I finally did it!!
Masters Degree I ultimately want a full-time teaching position, so I decided to pursue a Masters Degree in Reading Specialties . I will graduate in May 2012.
RESA VII Substitute Teacher Certification I completed my RESA certification in September 2010.  I am very excited to be substitute teaching. I think this will better prepare me for a full-time teaching position.
Don’t look back, just move forward. I am glad that I decided to go back to college and even more excited that I ended up in graduate school.  I never thought that I would graduate with a BA, never the less a masters degree!
The journey continues.
