[00:00:00.113]I've always had a passion for teaching, so grad school gave me the avenue to kind of open up this opportunity
[00:00:06.223]to be a teacher.
[00:00:07.294]Any questions about the readings for today?
[00:00:09.227]At the same time, we have professors who are very wonderful at engaging us with research.
[00:00:14.534]Having a faculty mentor that really helps you get where you need to be, and keeps you going, is key to success and I
[00:00:21.333]found a relationship where we work very well together. She knows when to push me and she knows when to let me
[00:00:27.109]find my own way.
[00:00:28.563]I come from a smaller town background and Lincoln gives me a little taste of the small town feel, while also being
[00:00:35.064]a larger city that has more opportunities for entertainment venues and restaurants and shopping.
[00:00:41.339]Parks, the zoo, the Children's Museum; all these great things that are great for families.
[00:00:47.114]The small town feel, everyone is so friendly. You know, it's just such a friendly community and
[00:00:51.994]that sounds cheesy to say, but it's genuine.
[00:00:54.936][music]
