But I have been struggling a lot lately with trying to decide what to major in. I'm absolutely hating my science classes, but I love my math classes. So I was thinking about switching to a math major. But teaching has always been in the back of my mind .. I absolutely adore kids, and I love working with them.
Well, I just got back from an appointment with my academic advisor and I had discussed with her how I'd love to teach, but I feel like I'm supposed to do something else because everybody thinks I have these great abilities to do something else, and I don't want to waste them. Well, I came back from the meeting not sure what to do or what to major in. I checked my email before I headed to breakfast, and an email with the link to this program was in my inbox:

Now I don't know about any one else, but if that's not a sign, I'm not sure what is...
They'll give me 10k for the next two years to get a double degree in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) area plus an education degree in that area. Dual degree, 10k, and the option to do whatever I want after I graduate-- teach, do research, get my masters, or go to Med school.
Thoughts?
