About Me

Hello! My name is Sarah Sykora. I’m originally from Maryland, but currently reside in Fort Collins and attend Colorado State University where I am studying economics. This blog is for my Writing in Education class, which I decided to take because my long term goal is to teach high school. My college experience has not been the typical four year journey. After I graduated high school, I attended my first year of school at Johns Hopkins University and found for one, I was not ready for college, and for another, it was not the right school for me. I spent the next four years working different jobs and trying to get myself together. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to take care of myself, and eventually I got to a point where I could start thinking about helping other people. For two years I did several service programs with AmeriCorps, one of which helped me realize I wanted to go into teaching. Then I decided I was finally ready to go back to school, and here I am!
