Graduates Today, Educators Tomorrow

Meghan Braddy Reporter

Going through each grade, from kindergarten and beyond, teachers become a regular component of a person’s life. However, research suggests the teaching profession is dwindling in numbers and rising in rates of unhappiness.

According to a comprehensive report from the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, there has been a consistent downward trend of students enrolling in teacher-education programs, even before the COVID-19 pandemic. The report states between the 2008-09 and 2018-19 academic years, the number of people completing a teacher-education program declined by almost a third.

The reasons why students leave this career vary, but one of the more significant reasons is teachers’ salaries. According to the Economic Policy Institute, teachers make about 20 percent less than other college-educated workers with similar experience.

This considerable aspect prevents graduates from becoming educators, as they are afraid of

90% of NEA members say feeling burned out is a serious problem.

Teachers help to raise future generations, and that’s something that I want to be a part of. There are so many things wrong in this world today, and as educators, we can help change that. It starts with teaching the younger generations the difference between right and wrong. We can instill that in students because we’re with them for extended periods of the day.”

being unable to make a suitable living for themselves and their families. Ashley Casteel, elementary education major and fourth-year at Ball State, said the salary for teachers could be better, especially since they do so much for students and administration.

“It’s ironic because the people who work in careers that pay more, such as lawyers and surgeons, learn everything they need to know from teachers who are underpaid and overworked,” Casteel said.

Other teachers desire a support system they feel needs to be improved by upper administration.

The U.S. Department of Education’s 2020-2021 National Teacher and Principal Survey states the relationships between teachers and their administrators are often negative.

According to the survey, “half of teachers reported not feeling a great deal of support or encouragement. Six out of 10 reported not feeling a lot of cooperative effort among staff members, and 71.3 percent of teachers reported not having much control or influence on selecting the content, topics and skills they will be teaching in their classrooms.”

This lack of support coincides with the amount of disrespect they are forced to endure from the bad, and even violent, behavior some students exert daily.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, during the 2015–16 school year, a high percentage of elementary public school teachers reported being

threatened with injury or being physically attacked by a student from their school.

These complaints, and many others, dissuade students from becoming educators due to the overwhelming stress and lack of respect teachers experience.

“Everyone needs to start standing up more for our teachers,” said Megan Grasso, health and physical education major and Ball State fourth-year. “They deserve more respect than they are getting since they are the ones who are teaching the younger generation and, in doing so, are changing the world.”

The education career quickly became more of a declining job market after COVID-19. Virtual learning and a lack of communication from administrators concerning how to teach from home only exacerbated the grievances some teachers were already experiencing with their jobs.

Chase Braden, a permanent substitute teacher at Scribner Middle School in New Albany and a former secondary education major at Ball State, said many problems within the education system were exposed with the pandemic.

“After we returned to in-person learning, everyone was expected to move on as if nothing had happened. This is extremely frustrating to many people I know within the education field,” Braden said.

According to a poll from the National Education Association (NEA), 55 percent of public school teachers, administrators and other

staff said they were going to leave the field sooner than they’d initially planned because of the additional stresses brought on by the pandemic.

The NEA also cited data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, stating around 10.6 million teachers worked in public schools in January 2020. That number dropped to approximately 10 million in the months that followed. This represents a loss of roughly 600,000 teachers for many reasons, some due to the substantial stress and potential safety hazards the pandemic introduced into the classroom.

While some graduates are deterring from this occupation for these reasons, others are still undeniably passionate about becoming educators. This is especially true for Grasso, who believes being an educator is a rewarding career despite some negative aspects.

“The kids can be appreciative, especiallywhen attending a physical education class,” Grasso said. “This is because they don’t have many times during the day when they can be active and have fun activities planned for them. That time to be active for students is crucial, especially when sitting in classrooms all day.”

The pandemic’s negative educational impacts only proved this, as it showed students were missing the active support system they received from teachers in the classroom. According to a study conducted by Horace Mann Educators Corporation, more than 97 percent of educators reported seeing some learning loss in their students over the past year compared with children in previous years. Fifty-seven percent estimated their students are behind by more than three months in their social-emotional progress.

“The world needs teachers. For years to come, studies and research will be done on the pandemic’s negative educational impacts. I had sixth graders at a kindergarten reading level when I was student teaching because of it. We need teachers to help these students catch up more than ever,” Braden said.

Becoming a role model for students is another reason graduates are still passionate about becoming educators. Casteel said this is because they have the potential to inspire their students and encourage them to go further and dream bigger.

“Teaching is the only career I’ve ever found myself in,” Casteel said. “I had many amazing teachers growing up who were there for me when I was going through a lot, and they inspired me. I want to make that impact on the future children one day.”

Teachers also have a significant influence on their students in the sense that they are the ones who hold students accountable for their successes and failures in school. This positive aspect of teaching draws graduates in because they feel they can help their students live up to their full potential.

According to TeachHUB, “Student accountability is important because it encourages students to take responsibility for

- ASHLEY CASTEEL, Elementary education major and fourth-year at Ball State

their learning and actions. Students, in turn, learn to value their work and likely increase their levels of confidence. This prepares students for life beyond high school, whether it be furthering their education, going into the workforce or a combination of both.”

Braden said that he believes teachers leaving the profession isn’t due to a lack of passion in this sense.

“I think a lot of change needs to be done within the system, and teachers can be that change,” Braden said.

Teachers do spend a lot of time with their students during the day, which means that they are the ones who help prepare students for the aspirations they want to achieve in life. In doing so, they are also evoking this change within the education system by helping to influence future generations.

“Teachers help to raise future generations, and that’s something that I want to be a part of,” Grasso said. “There are so many things wrong in

this world today, and as educators, we can help change that. It starts with teaching the younger generations the difference between right and wrong. We can instill that in students because we’re with them for extended periods of the day.”

After graduation, Grasso hopes to find a physical education or health teaching job in an elementary or middle school. Casteel would also like to teach in an elementary school for three to four years before obtaining her master’s degree in either school administration or school counseling.

Despite the many challenges facing many teachers, graduates like Casteel and Grasso are gravitating toward their future careers for that very reason. They’re ready to become educators and have a hand in teaching future generations.

IMPACT AND INFLUENCE

Graduates Tina Nguyen, Jessica Serwah and Andy Myers look back on their time at Ball State University.

Hannah Amos, Jayda Mann Associate News Editor, Reporter

‘Ground Zero’

With a bang of a gavel, Tina Nguyen, Ball State University Student Government Association (SGA) president, said goodbye to the university that ingrained itself within her.

Nguyen, legal studies major with a concentration in public law and a minor in political science, is a part of the 2023 graduating class. She has not only done work with the SGA but also with establishing a role in her sorority Phi Mu.

In her years at Ball State, Nguyen has earned many accomplishments, such as establishing a fair wage commission for student workers as SGA President and becoming the President of North West Residence

Hall, all while being a resident assistant (RA) at Kinghorn Hall.

Two of Nguyen’s mentors, Abby Haworth and Ro-Anne Royer Engle, inspired her to do her best work.

“They have helped me a lot throughout my journey because I literally came to college without any help. I literally moved in by myself; it was hard,” Nguyen said. “I had no support system. I was at ground zero, so having them pour into me and believe in me as not only a person but as a student as well [was helpful].”

Though the last four years have been a struggle with the effects of lockdown while Nguyen was in the middle of her campaign for student body president, she continued to work with her community and kept campus safety in mind.

“Don’t be afraid to fail, because failing is literally part of the journey, but [it’s] not your ending. Failing is what it takes to learn how to succeed,” Nguyen said. “If you fail, that’s one step closer to success. Don’t be afraid to go out of the box and try new things … Take a leap of faith and believe in yourself and better yourself, and don’t listen to what other people say, because at the end of the day, you have you.”

‘A Greater Purpose’

As the African Student Association’s (ASA) weekend in Bloomington marked the last ASA event for the year, Jessica Serwah tipped her cap to ASA and Ball State.

Serwah has been the public relations head of the ASA for two years. She will be graduating with a major in computer information systems. Something Serwah feels she has struggled with in college is feeling as though she deserves to be a part of the community she has built here.

“There’s times where as a minority woman, I think there’s only one of me in my capstone class, so I just feel like I have to work harder than the next person,” Serwah said.

Serwah has also been a part of her hall council, and she is currently on the public relations team of the Men and Women of Color organization. She was

also a member of Information Technology Students of America.

“Find a greater purpose outside of yourself, and once you find that, everything that you’re struggling to do or finding a hard time in school with,” Serwah said, “it will become easier because you’re not only doing it for yourself, but you’re doing it for the greater good of your community, of your family, your friends and anybody who wants to level up and be someone like you.”

After college, Serwah plans to work at the University of Notre Dame in the tech department. She plans on going back to university to receive her masters in business administration in the future.

“Keep going and know that there is a finish line at the end,” Serwah said. “There’s different things that you’re gonna do in life, and you can give up at any time because it’s easier to give up, but once you reach that finish line, everything becomes much clearer. You’re happier.”

’Just Go for It’

Like Nguyen and Serwah, Andy Myers, fourth-year supply chain management major, has also been heavily involved during his university career.

In his first year at Ball State, he joined Delta Sigma Pi, a co-ed business fraternity, holding many positions within it, including the president from December 2021 to December 2022.

When he started his presidential position, there were 25 members, and under his leadership, in the 2023 spring semester the membership grew to 75, Myers said.

Myers joined Delta Sigma Pi to be a part of “something businesslike and more of a community.”

On top of that he was an RA in the Dehority Complex for three years.

“I lived in Dehority my freshman year, [and] there’s so many different majors and creativity there,” Myers said. “So I wanted to be a part of that, to be able to help incoming freshmen kind of have the resources they need to foster that creativity and the talents they have.”

Myers attributes his upcoming full-time job at Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis to the involvement he had in his four years at Ball State. Starting in September, he will be traveling to different brewers in the supply chain rotational program.

Being involved helped to “broaden [his] mind” and gain many different transferable skills, such as leadership skills and learning how to be a good role model. Along with the skills he picked up, the people in the hiring process were also involved at their universities, allowing Myers

to connect with them.

Myers advises other Ball State students to “just go for it” when it comes to involvement on campus, to look at all the different organizations on campus and see what works for them.

“Just getting involved at least opens the door for you, for an experience that you don’t know what can happen,” he said. “You don’t know what could have been there for you if you don’t take that step, and college is hard with all the schoolwork, but it’s also about getting involved and going outside your social boundaries a little bit.”

Growing into the Gown

Graduates discuss their journey through Ball State

Zach Gonzalez Reporter

The outcome of graduating from college is relatively simple: receive a diploma that unlocks the gateway to a new stage of life during adulthood. But for some, the process to get there involves both personal and academic growth obtained only through higher education.

Indeed, the college experience allows students to gain a sense of their identity in both who they are as a person and as a contributor to society’s economic workforce.

While job opportunities for success might present themselves where no degree is required and no tuition or loans need to be paid or borrowed, colleges such as Ball State University offer several advantages to committing several years of one’s life to higher education.

Fourth-year logistics and supply chain management major Austin Mote, for example, thought of potentially going into a “blue collar” job such as welding or heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems after high school.

However, after seeing the stress such labor puts on someone’s body through his father’s experience, he decided against it and pursued a managerial office position.

Combine that with a close commute, tuition reimbursement through Mote’s father being a Ball State employee and a program for his major provided by the Miller College of Business, Mote had the perfect case to become a Ball State Cardinal.

One benefit he saw with his education were the opportunities it provided in gaining relevant experience for his career before he’d perform in a more professional setting.

“College gives you a chance to show that you can apply yourself, and there are a ton of people out there who are really smart but can’t necessarily apply themselves,” Mote said.

What made such experiences worthwhile for Mote weren’t simply pplying his skills and academic growth but doing it in a setting with friends who shared similar goals and majors.

“I’ve been in study groups with people where we can all apply ourselves together cooperatively as a group, and that’s been really cool to see unfold,” he said. “We can study and benefit from our grades and classroom activities but also have fun and go to basketball games outside of study groups.”

Mote said he made several long-lasting relationships with others during his time at Ball

State, one of them being his fiance. Beyond relationships, he recognized his own growth by pushing through challenges he lacked elsewhere.

“Growing up, I didn’t really need to study, as school came naturally easy to me, but once I ended up coming to college and struggled with some classes more than I thought I would, I had to go to study hours and get a tutor,” Mote said. “College also helped me to be more of an extrovert … I think college gave me the kick in the butt toward that direction, and so now I’m pretty comfortable meeting new people and talking to them.”

If you’re willing to be open and meet more people, then you can filter out a lot of people and find people [where] you’re like, ‘OK, I feel super comfortable around you.’”

- SHERLYN CONTRERAS, Fourth-year biology major

Mote saw this through participation in activities, such as the university’s tennis club and Late Nite events. While he wasn’t on campus as often during his underclassmen years, he got more exposed to Ball State after living off-campus close to the university his third and current year.

Mote also valued the opportunities he received through resume building and networking at career fairs and the Miller College of Business. All of these provided him with valuable internships and a job he’ll start full-time after graduation at Interstate Warehousing in Anderson, Indiana.

Briana Towns, fourth-year double major in history and political science with a concentration in international relations, visited the L.A. Pittenger Student Center on a tour during her junior year of high school. Now, she’s engaged and gained numerous leadership opportunities through Ball State.

Towns took interest in the university Housing and Residence Life, having been a part of the Hall Council and taking on the role of a resident assistant (RA), and now she is the Housing and Residence Life Chair.

“I have seen housing from so many different perspectives and had the privilege to meet prospective students and their families,” Towns said via email. “I can honestly say that without Housing and Residence Life, I would not be the same person I am today.”

Indeed, Towns said via email that being a leader isn’t always easy, but the right environment allows for growth and demonstration in leadership for anyone.

Not only did she grow as a leader during her time at Ball State but also as a communicator in a professional setting.

“Learning good communication skills is crucial to your success in the future, so college can be seen as a test run for the real world,” Towns said via email. “College can also translate to a career field based on pure interest and course work.”

The way Towns views college is an opportunity

for those who wish to seek a career that involves attending a higher education school, but she understands it’s also not for everyone.

“At the end of the day, I think a degree is very important, but not everyone has the means or opportunity, so we have to acknowledge that it is a privilege,” Towns said via email.

Sherlyn Contreras, fourth-year biology major, discovered more about themself beyond their own academic goals and ambitions. Contreras found their own gender identity as non-binary and represents the LGBTQ+ community.

College was an opportunity for selfdiscovery and growth in Contreras’ own gender. Ball State provided them with an open-minded environment about social topics, such as gender identity, unlike any other they had previously experienced.

This is because Contreras said college is more open-minded about queerness compared to high school. Additionally, they said their queer friends helped open them to the queer community.

The relationships Contreras made with friends and peers during their Ball State journey helped them gain acceptance.

“Being friends with people who were really open with not being limited to, ‘Oh, I have to act this way because I identify as a man or a woman,’ or [a] gender doesn’t define who I am as a person,” Contreras said. “Being surrounded by that type of energy made me feel more open … and having friends who made it very apparent at first meeting that they’re really open about those types of things.”

Ball State, especially through the Honors College, also taught Contreras to accept worldviews that, while different from theirs, still emphasize tolerance of different beliefs and values regardless of one’s identity. In other words, they learned to agree to disagree but in a welcoming manner at a diverse university.

Contreras views college as an opportunity for discovering the lifestyles and choices each student takes and for developing themself personally and academically, all in a setting where everyone is in the same boat and figuring out such opportunities for themselves.

“It’s kind of like high school, but you have so much more freedom, and also the set schedule college comes with is very beneficial for you to grow into yourself and grow into your passions,” Contreras said. “You can change your passion, you can change your major, and it’s because everyone’s going through similar experiences, as well that people want to make friends.”

The soon-to-be graduate student at Washington University in St. Louis also sees college as a chance for students to present themselves and find their true tight-knit group of people.

“Even if you’re not a super extroverted person, try your best to be the first couple of months that you’re here,” Contreras said. “If you’re willing to be open and meet more people. then you can filter out a lot of people

and find people [where] you’re like, ‘OK, I feel super comfortable around you.’”

What got Contreras into Ball State was the Lilly Endowment Scholarship, some distance from family and the Honors Fellowship. What they’ll get out of college will be the realization they can be their authentic self.

“Sometimes just getting to know yourself is an entire process,” Contreras said. “Nobody wants to become friends with the fake version of you.”

The Golfing Graduate

Associate Sports Editor

For Joey Ranieri, there are two characteristics he thinks he has always had.

“I’ve always been a very small guy and overlooked,” he said.

A 5-foot-9 graduate student and golfer for Ball State University, that “very small guy” first started golfing all the way back at Zionsville High School.

“In middle school and high school, I was always in the shadow of another golfer, one of my high school teammates, who was an absolute stud, and everyone talked about him and how great he was, and I never had that opportunity, to be honest,” Ranieri said. “It gave me a lot of motivation because I wanted to be in that spotlight, and I was just gonna prove people wrong.”

Ranieri knew he had what it took as a freshman in high school on the club circuit, where he got an early taste of competition.

“I got an opportunity to play in my club championship, and we had some very good players,” Ranieri said. “It was kind of the same deal where they were the ones in the spotlight, and I was the young kid trying to prove something.”

Ranieri recalled going up against one of the better players, Seth Fair, at his club championship. Fair had success at the state level in high school, and Ranieri had one goal going into the championship.

“I just wanted to go out there and beat him,”

While he wound up falling short in his quest to beat Fair, Ranieri said being able to hang with a player at Fair’s level as a freshman in high school gave him the confidence and desire to keep playing golf.

Zionsville boys golf head coach Steve Simmons said Ranieri was a late bloomer when it came to golf and recalled he was smaller than most of the incoming freshmen they had at the time.

But his size didn’t stop him.

Graduate student Joey Ranieri looks back on his career at Ball State.

At Zionsville, Ranieri had a plethora of success, making the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) state finals each of his four years. In the last three of those four years, he finished in the top 10.

Ranieri was also a three-time all-state selection in high school. By the time his high school career had finished, and he was prepping for Ball State, Ranieri was the No. 7 ranked player in the state of Indiana.

“Nobody was gonna outwork Joey,” Simmons said. “He was relentless in his preparation, he wanted to learn, he was a sponge, and I think that caused a need to prove himself, and that is what separated him from others.”

Simmons said Raneiri would stay late after practice and would work on his game on his own time seven days a week.

During the IHSAA State Championship meet in Raineri’s junior year of high school, he caught the eye of Ball State Men’s Golf head coach Mike Fleck.

“In middle school and high school, I was always in the shadow of another golfer, one of my high school teammates, who was an absolute stud. It gave me a lot of motivation because I wanted to be in that spotlight, and I was just gonna prove people wrong.”

- JOEY RANIERI, Graduate student golfer

“I think I saw him on the second tee box, and that was probably the first time I had seen him swing a club,” Fleck said. “During that event, I knew [Ranieri] was someone I wanted to be a part of our program.”

In his time at Ball State, Ranieri racked up a number of individual accomplishments. In 2018-19, his freshman year at Ball State, he was named the Mid-American Conference (MAC) Freshman of the Year.

Despite the 2019-20 season being cut short due to COVID-19, Ranieri finished the season as the No. 7 ranked golfer in the MAC, according to Golfweek.

His junior year in 2020-21 was his most successful as an individual golfer up to that point when Ranieri was selected for the AllMAC Second Team and Academic All-MAC.

2021-22 saw much of the same from Ranieri, with a second-straight All-MAC Second Team and Academic All-MAC selection; however, he was also awarded MAC Golfer of the Week at one point. During this season, he led the Cardinals with a scoring average of 72.64, was the top finisher for Ball State in five out of their 11 events, had 14 rounds of shooting par or better and had four top 10 finishes, two of which he placed in the top five.

“I have grown a lot since I came in here … I’m still growing and learning every single day,” Ranieri said. “Coach Fleck has built a program where young men make progress, and I have felt each and every day and each and every year, I have just gotten at least one percent better.”

Instead of graduating at the end of the last school year, Ranieri decided to stay for the

2022-23 season and get his graduate certificate.

“It was mainly because of [the men’s golf team],” Ranieri said. “We were gonna have a really strong team coming in, and our [previous] teams did not have the success we were striving for when I was here. I wanted the opportunity to go on a little revenge tour, and we’ve had some success, but one of the ultimate goals is to win a conference championship.”

Fleck gave credit to Ranieri for his leadership ability and his tendencies to help the younger players at Ball State. He said it has been very rewarding having Ranieri a part of his program.

This season, Ranieri was able to try out for the PGA Tour Canada March 7-10, and while he did not make the cut, he took a lot away from it.

“It was an incredible experience,” Ranieri said. “Obviously, it did not go the way that I wanted it to, but it invigorated a couple of things in me, and it rekindled my love to practice and love the process of golf, not just looking for results. To be able to see what everyone else was doing at that level and understand that I can hang with them out there... and I’m just getting started.”

Once Ranieri graduates in a few weeks, he will turn his attention back to the process, as he hopes to play professional golf.

“My current plan is to pursue golf professionally … We’re gonna ride it out as long as we can and hopefully have a lot of success,” Raneiri said. “I’m excited for it, and I’m ready to go.”

‘A Second Family’

Zach Carter Reporter

When you ask Amaia Daniel about Ball State softball, she has three words.

“A second family.”

She won’t boast about her achievements with the Cardinals, even though she ranks in the top 20 of 16 different statistical categories in program history and in the top 10 of eight of those categories.

She won’t talk about her love of the game; she will speak of her love for her teammates, her “second family.”

“There’s people on this team who have known me for that long, and there’s people who I deeply trust with many, many things, and I respect them deeply,” she said. “I could honestly call them family, and I could treat them like family.”

The Back of The Bus

During her first year at Ball State, Amaia roomed with current softball student-athlete fourth-year Jazmyne Armendariz.

“She [Amara] was my first friend in college, and we instantly clicked with each other,” Armendariz said. “And she’s probably one of the funniest people I know, if not the funniest person I know.”

That comedic tone continued into this season. On road trips, the upper class students sit in the back of the bus.

“There’s not a time where we are not laughing,” Daniel said smiling. “Sometimes,

we get in trouble for it. But it’s moments like those where you’re like, I’m gonna remember these people forever because...these are my sisters.”

But when Daniel calls her teammates her “sisters,” they think the same way about her. On senior day, Daniel walked down the third base line to home plate with her parents and her dog, Zeke. After that, she was honored with flowers and other celebratory items.

thinking about leaving. Before Ball State head coach Lacy Schurr took the reigns, Daniel was recruited and chose to play under then head coach Megan Ciolli Barlett. As seen in today’s college athletics, players sometimes choose to transfer when confronted with that situation. But not Daniel.

“My teammates kept me here, and there are people that I knew I cared for and who I played for,” Daniel said. “And I know that they cared about me, and I was gonna stay to just be around them, and I committed to this team, and I wanted to stick it out.”

The bond between her and Armendariz will always be special.

“I was talking to [Armendariz] the other day,” Daniel said. “She has seen me for five birthdays. That’s five years. … That’s more than some of my family members have seen me, like great uncles and second cousins, you know, and that’s direct family.”

“I am about to tear up just talking about her right now,” Armendariz said. “I just got to come into college and meet somebody like her and somebody that’s so down to earth and so genuine. She genuinely cares about the people around her. She has made me a better person, and I’m really lucky to know her and to get to play with her.”

That mutual love is what kept Daniel from

When it comes to her actual family, they are very proud. Amanda and David Daniel try to travel to every game, and when David can’t make it, Amanda will still be there. After games, Amanda can be found sharing anything from her daughter’s games.

“It’s so amazing, but it’s kind of embarrassing,” Amaia said, chuckling. “But I love it. I love them so much because having a support system like that, I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have a support system like that.”

But to understand her reasoning, you have to go back to where she began.

In her five years with Ball State Softball, Amaia Daniel found more than just a team.

She has developed into an amazing young woman, and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to coach her.”

New Mexico to Ohio

Daniel was born in New Mexico, but she was only in the “Land of Enchantment” for around five weeks.

Her mother is from the Shiprock, New Mexico, and met her husband, and Amaia’s father in the United States Army. David is originally from Delaware, Ohio, and after he retired from the military, the family moved there.

“I was born and raised on the Navajo reservation in New Mexico,” Amanda said. “That’s where I had Amaia. A lot of the high schools there, like my high school, have a lot of players that go play Division I, but the Division I sport is basketball.”

David was a big reason his daughter picked up a bat and a glove in the first place.

“My dad was a huge sports guy,” Amaia said. “He taught me everything I knew or had to know about baseball, softball, … tried to teach me soccer, but I just stuck with softball.”

Going into Rutherford B. Hayes High School in Delaware, Ohio, Amaia played softball and volleyball. Freshman year of high school was when she started to take softball more seriously.

Amaia’s varsity softball head coach and current head coach at Hayes City High School, Mark Thomas, believes that her work ethic set her up for success.

He explained that if Amaia had a game where she wasn’t happy with her offensive performance, she would go home and practice for hours. Today, she doesn’t really do that.

“My dad wants me to,” Amaia said laughing. “But not anymore. I would like to say I’ve gotten a little bit wiser, and it’s not about hitting for two hours straight. Bad games happen.”

Thomas has many favorite memories with Amaia, but what he remembers about her the most was the way she grew into who she is now.

He remembers when she first started attending his softball camps and being timid in the sport, but after practice and hard work, she is now one of Ball State’s most successful softball players.

When Amaia started the recruiting process, she didn’t know where to start.

“I honestly wasn’t talking to that many schools,” she said. “My parents were not college athletes, … so they were pretty new to the recruiting process, and I didn’t really know what I was doing, other than just going into camps and just trying to ball out.”

On some of her first unofficial visits, Amaia went to bigger Divison I universities, but Amaia was not a fan.

“She didn’t want to be at a big, big school,” David said. “And we left it all up to her, and when we took her to the official visit, they gave her the offer, and she jumped all over it. She said this is where I want to go to school.”

Her Success and Legacy at BSU

Before this season began, Schurr believed that Amaia would be one of the leaders on the team because of her actions. Nearing the end, she still believes it.

“She has been here for a long time, “ Schurr said. “She’s been through coaching changes, both assistant and head coaches. Her demeanor brings everything to the team. She is quiet,

confident … and her skills are backing it up.”

Amaia currently has a batting average of .419 with 57 hits and 28 RBI’s.

“I think that every year that I have been here, she has continued to get better,” Schurr said. “But it’s not just who she is on the field, it is what she does off the fields and the kind of person she is.”

Her Future

Not just graduation, another big moment for her future took place before senior day. Before the game, her boyfriend Jack Blanco, a redshirt junior safety on the football team, proposed.

‘It was Good Friday,” David said. “He asked Amanda and I if we could meet him at Roots [Burger Bar]. He wanted to talk to us about something, and he graciously bought us lunch. He asked us for our blessing, and we love the kid to death, so we told him sure.”

Amaia, a marketing major, keeps coming back to the game she fell in love with as a child.

“I would love to coach somewhere,” she said. “... I feel like I’ve learned a lot in my five years here. And I would love to share that knowledge with other players and just like [help] other players as well.”

If she was to become a college coach, she thinks she would have the same quiet qualities she has now, but for now, she is focused on being the teammate she has been since she arrived in Muncie.

“I would say I would want to be remembered as a good teammate, somebody who inspired my teammates, and yeah, somebody who, after softball is over, could call them,” she said. “They would be able to call me up and say, ‘Hey, Amaia, what are you doing?’ And then we could go out to dinner.”

Pedal to the Metal

Ball State metals students prepare to graduate and showcase their theses.

Lila Fierek Copy Director and Lifestyles Editor

It only took one class.

Kinzee Davis and Victoria Stout started in drawing. Arielle Birk started in animation, and Kelsey Bobrowski wanted to pursue the same. But after getting a taste of metals, each of the students decided a focus in metals is what they needed to do.

“I saw metals and signed up for it not really thinking much of it, didn’t really know what all it entailed, but I immediately fell in love with it …” Davis said. “Just everything about it. I felt like I was finally connecting to the material that I was working with.”

As the end of the year approaches, future graduates in the metals concentration are wrapping up their time and preparing their theses and final galleries before stepping into the world of metalsmithing.

Metalsmithing is defined as an artist or craftsman who works with metal, most often used for jewelry or sculptures, according to Collins Dictionary.

The metals program at Ball State is a part of the School of Art and requires 60 credits. Through the concentration, students are able to use their hands and technology to produce their own works and pieces of art from an assortment of metals, including copper, silver and gold, as well as gemstones and other materials.

Similar to many students in the metals concentration, Ball State’s associate professor of metals and jewelry, Jessica Calderwood, didn’t originally pursue metals when she was in college either. She didn’t discover her love for the tactile art form until her boyfriend at the time recommended she take it as an elective.

She switched from painting to metals, and the rest was history. Now, Calderwood has been teaching at Ball State since 2016.

As a part of the program, Calderwood decided to change the metals concentration to metals and jewelry, widening the scope. Calderwood is one in a small group of professors who teach metals at Ball State. Although she is currently on sabbatical, with Natalie Lowe, assistant teaching professor, in her place, she is still just as passionate.

“The material that we work in is incredibly relevant, especially to everyone’s daily life,” Calderwood said. “Everybody uses metal objects in their daily life, … many people wear jewelry, and it’s such a signifier of our class, our identity, religion and just personal design preferences.”

Due to the complexity of metals, students are able to learn about other forms of art in metals as well. While Calderwood is away, she is currently working on combining glass and metal in her pieces. She is still an active artist, and she encourages her students to pursue getting real-world experience.

One way students are able to do this is through the Metals Guild, a club at Ball State for metalsmiths, though it’s open to students outside of the concentration. The guild helps students gain experience selling their work. The money raised from their sales, often in the Atrium, goes partly in the pockets of the students and also toward annual trips and expos.

Stout, the president of the Metals Guild and fourth-year metals major, has even helped bring in guest speakers. Stout said the sales are beneficial to students in preparing them for post graduation through understanding how to sell their work and get along with others.

“It was the first time that I ever was actually able to sell my art in a way that felt good. I had tried doing drawing commissions so many times, and it just was not for me,” she said. “But within this, I feel so much more capable, and I’m able to make my art, and then people are like, ‘I want it,’ and that’s all I’ve ever wanted.”

Stout will be graduating in fall 2024, alongside Birk, vice president of the Metals Guild and sixth-year animation and metals student. The two were in a sculpture class when they made a pact to pursue metals together.

In the metals studio, Birk is often referred to as the “rabbit lady.” Due to the rabbit being her Chinese zodiac and the animal having shown up during difficult times in her life, the rabbit has become a symbol for her. She said she’s heard an animal showing up in your life this way can mean they are your “spirit animal.” She uses rabbits in most of her work, which mainly includes broaches and other

So when I switched to metals, I felt like I was really connecting with the material that I was using for the first time and like I knew what I was doing.”

“I put a lot of spirituality in my pieces, but not everybody agrees with you on spirituality or religion, so I try to be as broad and accommodating as possible of other people’s views while also still putting my views in perspective,” she said.

The Muncie native was born for the role in metals, combining her mother’s love of fashion and her father’s role in construction management.

Birk works at HeidiJHale Designs, a jewelry shop in Muncie. She has been making rings while being mentored by the owner. After graduation, she plans to work there and gain experience, and, ultimately, she hopes to open a jewelry business of her own in Muncie.

Alongside Birk, Davis, fourth-year fine arts major with a concentration in metals, also works at HeidiJHale Designs. When she graduates this spring, she is going to start as Heidi’s “secondhand person.”

Davis is a big jewelry person, having sold earrings on her Instagram and through sales with the Metals Guild. She enjoys making wearable metals, coming from a dream of being a fashion designer when she was 8.

“There probably is something in me that’s just like I want to put things on the body,” she said. “But I just feel like it’s a very personal place to keep things.”

Davis has always been interested in medieval adornment, what royalty would wear and how they would present themselves.

She often uses Art Nouveau, an energetic artistic style spanning from the early 1890s to World War I, according to Rise Art. This form of art is often inspired by plants and nature, something Davis takes after.

For her thesis, she created a wire, wearable sculpture that represents her childhood. As a middle child, she didn’t get a lot of attention, so she had to learn how to raise herself. She spent most of her time playing in her backyard, so her sculpture is inspired by nature, showcasing glass flowers along with the metals.

“I want the other kids who had to grow up alone and didn’t really have friends and felt awkward and never really fit in to know that there are other people that felt that way as a kid,” Davis said.

She wants other kids like her to be able to learn they can “make cool sh–” out of their experiences and turn them into stories.

When Davis was a drawing major, she felt average compared to other artists. She would compare herself to others, and it made her feel like she had no future.

“So when I switched to metals, I felt like I was really connecting with the material that I was using for the first time and like I knew what I was doing,” she said. “I felt like I could make the metal do what I wanted to just by touching it.”

After her move to metals, Davis noticed her work ethic increased, and she became more proud of her results, growing a deep love for the art form.

Bobrowski’s passion for metals is also personal. The fourth-year metals major will graduate this spring. Emotion heavily drives her artwork.

When she’s thinking of an idea, she sits in the shower in the dark and listens to a song on repeat until she is inspired.

Bobrowski has a rare skin disorder called palmoplantar keratosis. It causes calluses on the hands and feet that have to be shaved off. This disease makes metalsmithing more

Hephaestus, the Greek god of blacksmiths, metalworking, fire, carpentry and more. The god was depicted with curved feet and impairments.

“I find him really inspiring, and I feel closer to him by doing metal smithing,” she said.

Following in Hephaestus’s footsteps, she wants to learn blacksmithing next. After working with metal forming and foraging, she realized she wants to work on a bigger scale, something she did with her thesis.

Bobrowski’s thesis, titled “Escaping Escapism,” represents the mid-life crisis.

Her piece shows reflections of people’s lives through mirrors on the ground and in the air, incorporating metals, enameling, powder coats, installation and more.

“What I’m exploring is perfection and imperfection. We always want to find that perfection, but it’s too fake and candy coated. It’s something we can never really achieve …” she said. “I’m exploring that feeling of going back and forth with what I am doing with my life.”

For now, Bobrowski is hoping to work at a metals shop in Indianapolis and get experience before opening up her own studio.

“I want people to look at [my art], and say, ‘That’s really cool … I want to make sure you’re like, ‘This is impactful,’” Bobrowski said. “And whether or not that’s using a backstory behind it to tell the meaning through the artwork, or whether it’s using a song to make it into artwork, I just want to tell a story.”

The students’ art galleries will be showcased at The Ned and Gloria Griner Art Gallery during their open hours, Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. Bobrowski’s gallery will be open from May 2-5, with a reception on May 5 from 4-6 p.m; Davis’s gallery is from April 25-28, with a reception on April 26 from 4-6 p.m.

Reflections From

the Top

Some top 100 students reflect on their experience.

Mya Cataline Associate Lifestyle Editor

The nomination. Filling out the application. Writing an essay about defining Beneficence. All of it ends in a waiting game.

The process for applying to be a top 100 student can be lengthy between recommendations from bosses or professors to having to wait to see if you made it.

The top two student, fourth-year theatre education and English education double major Denver Hammons, went through this process for the 2023 top 100 students.

According to Hammons, he applied in November and found out in February he got into the top 100. By the end of March, he found out he was in the top two specifically.

Grace Carman, third-year public relations and advertising major, Finding out if students made it into the top 50 is through a brunch at the Alumni Center where the students and two to three of their family and friends were invited.

“[At the brunch], you have no idea if you are top 25, top 10 or top two,” Carman said. “You just sit there waiting for your name to be called, which is quite anxiety-inducing with your friends and family sitting right there.”

While process and waiting is the anxious part of being a top 100 student, the benefits that come with it can be anywhere from event opportunities to being mentored.

According to Hammons, the top two

students get $500 each to donate to a fund or organization on One Ball State Day. He was able to donate to the fund set up for a scholarship in the name of the late professor Troy Dobosiewicz.

The newest benefit for the top 100 students through the program is an alumni mentor they can use as a connection or to ask questions about anything.

“Being able to connect with my mentor has given me opportunities that I would not have gotten if it wasn’t for the top 100 student program,” Carman said.

For other top 100 students, the designation can be used on their resumes and to Katelyn Harris, fourth-year pre-medicine and biology double major, it gave her more connections to different events and people who she normally wouldn’t have spoken to.

“The only downside to this program is that people do expect more out of you,” Harris said. “Like, everyone thinks that I’m just going to be absolutely perfect.”

I remember having a conversation with my fifth grade math teacher telling her that I wanted to go to Ball State when I went to college.”

Being a student for the past four years, some top 100 students got to experience new things like a new minor or new organizations that weren’t around when they started at Ball State.

“At the end of [the pandemic], the new minor of health humanities started, so I got into that, which I very much enjoy. [I will be] the first student to graduate with the health humanities minor,” Harris said. Harris plans on taking a gap year before going into medical school. She is interning and helping get the word out about the health humanities minor.

When it comes to the top 100 students, which are mainly third-year and fourth-year students, they tend to have more experiences and memories that can be told to the lower classes.

The highlight of Hammons’ college years was being able to work with the National Collegiate Jump Rope Association to host the seventh annual University Jump Rope Summit March 21 to April 2.

“I would say the biggest highlight and the most exciting moment of my time here was getting to watch 100 competitive jump ropers

from 14 different universities come to Ball State and see how great it is and how cool of a school it is and how wonderful of a place it can be,” Hammons said.

To other students, it’s spending time with friends that will be remembered as they move onto the next chapter of their lives.

Harris recalled studying in the library at 3 a.m. with her friends, and they got stuck in the elevator. They started joking around and laughing so hard, in the 15 minutes they were stuck, she ended up spitting coffee in her friend’s face.

For some of the top 100 students, their love for Ball State started years beforehand.

“I remember having a conversation with my fifth grade math teacher telling her that I wanted to go to Ball State when I went to college,” Hammons said. “So I made that dream come true.”

Overall, the top 100 students have experiences they will carry with them for a long time.

“Say yes to almost everything because you never know what experiences are going to come your way,” Hammons said. “After making that educational commitment, you never know who you might cross paths with, what you might learn, what you might see and what you might experience.”

Finding Me Again

Elissa Maudlin Editor-in-chief

Elissa Maudlin is a fourth-year journalism news major and writes “Abstractions” for The Daily News. Her views do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper.

Throughout my first few years in college, I lost myself.

It was a new environment with new friends. I was an undecided major, and the confidence I held from being complimented for previous extracurricular endeavors at my high school faded. I was now recreating myself in some ways, and that came with its own challenges.

According to the Journal of Medical and Dental Sciences, “self-confidence is the understanding to trust our own judgment and abilities which make us value ourselves.”

The journal created a study based on a questionnaire regarding awareness of confidence levels to a group of college students 18 to 25 years old through an online survey planet link.

According to the study, 49.6 percent of the participants boosted their self-confidence by rewarding their achievements, but 50.4 percent of them boosted their self-confidence from the start.

Also, the study suggested that selfconfidence increased the participants’ selfesteem, with 92.2 percent of the participants stating that.

From that study, it’s easy to see that selfconfidence is connected to how we view ourselves, and if we don’t have confidence in ourselves, it can change how we view the person looking back at us in the mirror.

The problem is, before the end of this year, I didn’t have a lot of confidence in myself. Because of that, my self-image crumbled when I wasn’t constantly being affirmed by my achievements.

However, a lot of that changed with my third and fourth years at Ball State University; primarily when I became editor-in-chief, and not for the reasons many would expect.

Through being editor-in-chief, I am back on the path of feeling like myself again.

Whether I fully believe in myself at that moment or not, I’m showing up and I’m doing the job because, deep down, I have goals and dreams I’ve set for myself.”

Fourth-year journalism major and Ball State Daily News editor-in-chief poses for a photo outside of the David Owsley Museum of Art April 22. JACY BRADLEY, DN

My year of being editor-in-chief wasn’t always filled with the confidence-inducing compliments I had known throughout my high school career. People weren’t feeding my head or boosting my ego with how great I was doing or making me feel like the best all the time.

I realize now that this was kind of a good thing for me.

For so much of my life, I based my own self-perception on whether or not other people thought I was doing a good job in everything I did. My own confidence could shatter like broken glass if others critiqued me, creating my own unsustainable self-image and dysregulated emotional boundaries.

There were moments of being editor-in-chief when people did tell me I was doing a great job. There were moments I felt such love and compassion from the people around me, moments of joy within the newsroom and beyond. The energy in the newsroom at times could be riveting and where everyone felt proud to be there.

Like all things in life, there were also moments of contention where I had to trust myself that I was trying my best and that was enough. There were times when it felt like I was wrong, a bad leader and a bad person. There were moments I questioned every facet of how I thought and why, wondering if I was the one who didn’t have my head on straight, even questioning my truest intentions.

Needless to say, there were difficult moments and times when, with tears, I had to dig deep and learn to believe in myself. It was in those moments, as well as the joyful moments, where I saw glimpses of the person I was at my core again. It was because of these moments that I am beginning to feel like myself again.

That study from the Journal of Medical and Dental Sciences also stated that 80 percent of participants felt a lack of confidence affected

their future goals.

Being editor-in-chief became a goal of mine when I was encouraged by others. Originally, I didn’t think I was good enough or knew enough about journalism to sit in that chair at that desk in the newsroom. My journey started with confidence being instilled in me, rather than me actually finding the confidence in myself to know I was capable.

That lack of self confidence caused me more hardship in the roles I wanted, like editor-inchief, than it needed to. If I let myself fully believe without question that lack of confidence could affect my goals, low self-assuredness would be able to take control of my entire life.

The only difference between me and that statistic from the Journal of Medical and Dental Sciences is that I refuse to let my goals be swayed by insecurity. Whether I fully believe in myself at that moment or not, I’m showing up, and I’m doing the job because, deep down, I have goals and dreams I’ve set for myself.

Beginning to find yourself, though, isn’t a final destination; for me, I am just starting to get back on the path to finding my confidence. I still have so many moments of self doubt, insecurity and moments of high emotions, and that feeling of me standing by myself in a sea of critics doesn’t just go away.

However, I’m gathering the tools to help me

fight when that insecurity comes up. I’m learning to depend on myself more, develop more inner confidence and use that to remain unphased by problems that come my way.

I have my time as editor-in-chief to thank for that. It showed me where my weaknesses are but also where my strengths are. It gave me back that fire to be myself and stand strong in who I am as a person and a journalist. With the good, the bad and the ugly, I learned how to cope with the negative inner voice that pops up from time to time and focus on trying the best I can throughout everything.

Doing the best I can is the number one thing I can control, and it is my superpower.

This is the last article I will ever write for The Ball State Daily News, which comes with its own level of nostalgia. I started in the opinion section, and it seems fitting that this is where my collegiate journalism journey ends.

It also seems fitting that my last article bids farewell to a role at this newspaper I’ve cherished deeply. Even though it took away that sense of security I felt with everyone else’s opinions of me and peer ego boosts, it gave me a brand new sense of self-assuredness and perspective on who I am.

It gave me myself again.

Good Luck, and Please Mess it Up

All the RuPaul references intended, making mistakes taught me more than anything else.

I would often label myself a perfectionist. Years of honors programs had instilled in me the importance of “being the best” in school, and I was fully invested in that goal — so much so that I was willing to go to any length to get there, even sacrificing my physical and mental well-being for it.

I’ve had the goal to graduate summa cum laude, or with a 3.9 GPA or higher, since before even starting college. It was much too late in the game by the time I noticed the toll it was taking on me, so I continued on. After all, what would it all be for if I didn’t end up successful at that goal? It would be all for nothing, the imposter syndrome would finally engulf me, and I’d forever be a failure. That’s how it felt.

So I said yes to every opportunity that came my way: I joined the Spanish club, I became a part of student media, I was briefly the president of the Ball State Society of Professional Journalists chapter, and I decided to continue on in honors even at Ball State.

forgiving myself for it for a while to come.

When I look back now, I can think of so many times where I made the wrong choice. I see so clearly the moments when I should’ve stayed in and finished that assignment instead of going out with friends. It always ended in me coming home, promising myself I’d be productive, then falling asleep from exhaustion right around 4 a.m.

I paid the price for it over and over again. But it’s taught me something very important along the way.

We are not supposed to be perfect. We are not supposed to never fail. Making mistakes is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I’ve walked away with so many valuable lessons because of it.

Never measure your self worth by a letter grade or a percentage point — it’s not worth the heartache the first time you see something other than a 90 percent or higher.

Never end a conversation on bad terms with someone — you don’t always get the chance to apologize or say goodbye the way you wanted to.

And most importantly, never reduce your college experience to just academics — you’ll miss out on all the beautiful things this period of your life brings you outside of classes.

I’ve had some of the best experiences I’ve ever known right here on campus. There are people and places I will take with me forever, even if it’s just in memory. I’ve been a part of some of the most incredible teams student media has ever seen (yeah, I said it), and there are so many things I can show for it.

I’ve fallen in love, had my heart broken and

I’m finally able to look at this experience in all of its good, all of its bad and all of its ugly. long run.

I won’t remember the tests I bombed, but I will remember doing karaoke on Thursday nights with our editor-in-chief Elissa.

I won’t remember my GPA, but I will remember putting on music in the Unified Media Lab so loud that everybody in the room can hear it.

I won’t remember crying my eyes out over my senior thesis, but I will remember saying goodbye to my best friends.

If I could give one piece of advice to anyone soon to be in my position, I’d tell them to not fear messing up. I’d encourage it. No amount of perfectionism could ever be worth the lessons you learn from your mistakes.

In words inspired by the legendary RuPaul: good luck, and please mess it up.

Twice as Perfect

understand the English language.

It was very difficult to try to adjust to two different lifestyles. Yet, there was one phrase that always stuck with me and showed how it feels with being Mexican-American. The memorable phrase came from the movie “Selena,” specifically when Selena’s father, Abraham Quintanilla, would try to aid his kids in understanding the difficulty of being

“We have to be more Mexican than the Mexicans and more American than Americans both at the same time,” Quintanilla said.

Going to school, everyone was always questioning my ethnicity. It didn’t matter what I told them, people assumed that I was too light to be Mexican but was too dark-toned to be American. People couldn’t understand why I had freckles and red hair if I was Mexican.

With all their might, people will try to correct me by telling me that I am wrong to have light skin, red hair and freckles. People will tell me that I can’t possibly be Mexican

I had everyone telling me how surprised or shocked they were to know my true identity, yet they didn’t get to know me beyond my

didn’t understand how I had to be different and fight to prove who I am to others.

It was a tiring battle, a battle that I’ve been doing for 22 years and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.

It felt like a burden to be different from everyone else and be the only one in the classroom. I tried to blend in and not stand

So going into college, I felt that burden of being comfortable with my ethnicity. Then, I started to meet other students of color, and they shared with me how it’s difficult to live different lifestyles when having a diverse background. After having those conversations with other students, that moment is when I felt seen; I felt like I didn’t have to hide myself.

Change For the Better

Zach Gonzalez

Zach Gonzalez is a second-year journalism major and writes “Glory Days” for the Daily News. His views do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper.

Our first year as legal adults, and we’re forced to make a single choice that affects the rest of our lives.

This is at a time when most of us barely know how to do taxes or manage our own households.

For me, I thought I was going to be an athletic trainer when I was 18 years old. I spent my high school career practicing martial arts and working out at my local gym. Most would say I was just a gym rat, but I thought of it as a tangible career in the field of athletics and physical fitness.

I had something to look forward to, something to pursue that would transfer a hobby of mine into a rewarding occupation. That was until my career aspirations changed.

What I thought would be a profession I’d love turned out to be the exact opposite, especially after my first semester at Ball State University.

In other words, I found out that being an exercise science major with a concentration in pre-athletic training would be a medicaloriented field. I felt I was going into a role similar to a doctor, which I never wanted to be.

I was shocked when I learned being an athletic trainer primarily consisted of healing individuals from their injuries. A semester later, I changed my major but not for anything even remotely related to the School of Kinesiology.

I switched my major to exploratory studies – which took me all the way back to square one. Such a revelation forced me to reevaluate myself and my future throughout the second half of my first year.

However at this time, I found a new hobby for myself, one where I genuinely felt I could express my authentic self in a way that reflected my own personal identity.

Once I got into college, the insane amount

of stress from academics and independence away from my loved ones back home frequently overwhelmed me.

To cope, I journaled pages and pages of genuine heartstrings pouring my sanity into my notebook.

Eventually, it came to my realization that writing was not just a hobby or an extracurricular activity, rather a calling card to a career I spoke of with peak interest when I told my adviser I wanted to switch my major again.

That major was a degree in journalism with a concentration in news writing and reporting. So here I am as a second-year student writing stories for The Ball State Daily News and Ball Bearings Magazine, and I’ve never felt more in control of my future than I do right now.

Now, to say all these transitions throughout my first year were challenging would be an understatement. During my time in exploratory studies, I doubted myself a ridiculously high amount of times.

Changing your major is not a sign you’re struggling in college but an opportunity for self-evaluation and personal and academic growth.

I compare myself to others a lot. Combined with refusing to give myself grace for simply still needing time to assess my career path, I envied the success my peers had in their respective majors when I didn’t even know my own major.

Heck, switching to journalism wasn’t easy because I still had doubts this wasn’t the right fit for me and that it was more of just an impulsive decision to give myself another degree to work toward.

In fact, I didn’t even join The Daily News or Ball Bearings Magazine until this school year, because I was afraid I wouldn’t enjoy my new career plan based on the workload it required through these student-run organizations.

For anyone who’s currently experiencing a struggle of not knowing their place in life, it’s OK not to know yet. I’ve been there before, and I’ve experienced some of the worst it has to offer in terms of self-doubt and anxiety about the future.

No matter how many years a student is taking until they graduate, your time at college is a transitional period toward a career intended to potentially remain lifelong.

In fact, according to Ball State’s website, 50 percent of students switch their majors at least one time between their first year to fourth year. So this idea of changing one’s major is not a foreign concept and is perfectly normal in a college setting.

Feeling content with our degree matters more than the amount of credits we need to obtain it or however many years it’ll require. I know this is a phrase many have heard time and time again, but the satisfaction of our desired profession matters more than the profit it makes.

Pursuing a degree is never easy and has plenty of dreadful moments where stress feels at an all-time high, but it should be enjoyable enough where we feel confident the classes we take fit the field we happily envision ourselves going into.

Sure, some might prioritize the salary over the satisfaction, and if that description sound’s like you, then that’s perfectly fine.

But I know where I stand.

I’d much rather take a few years of my life figuring out a career than suffer working at a job I hate.

Now, the cons of changing majors are the extra tuition and miscellaneous costs a student

must pay by attending a university an extra year. This is why it’s much better to get a head start if you have any uncertainty on your major, and make those potentially necessary transitions as soon as possible.

Ball State’s advising handbook offers students the initiative to have a second plan in place, which is referred to as a parallel plan. This plan is structured for when a first-year student desires to switch their major for any reason.

The university acknowledges it’s possible many first-year students might have lingering thoughts in the back of their head on whether or not their degree choice is right for them.

But even so, not everyone’s case is the same, and it’s possible, for example, a student changes their major during their third year in college.

While there’s an advantage to changing your major sooner rather than later — as switching during your third or fourth year risks an extra year to take and more tuition to pay — it’s not the end of the world. The time you spend in college determines the outcome of the rest of your life, and your college years are much smaller in comparison to those after higher education.

According to a survey from BestColleges about the personal significance of the degrees of numerous college graduates across the United States, 61 percent said they’d change their majors if they had the chance to go back to college. Twenty percent said they’d change majors in order to follow their dreams.

In fact, changing majors multiple times is not out of the ordinary. According to a from the Department of Education survey consisting of undergraduate students during their first three years of higher education, one in 10 students switched their majors more than once.

College is a process of figuring out who you are and expanding your identity and personality. It doesn’t matter who you are; you probably won’t graduate from college the same

person you were when you started college. If that involves switching some career goals around, that’s absolutely acceptable.

While you’re still in college, make sure you know your genuine passion, and take the time to analyze the reasonability of whether or not the major you’re in will fit that passion.

If that’s unclear to you, then know you’re not alone. There’s several resources available to you to help out.

Based on academic advice courtesy through Ball State’s website, speaking to anyone in an academic department you might be interested in; joining a student organization that relates to your current major to see if you view yourself doing this type of work in the future or taking tests, such as the Counseling Center Career Assessment, to determine majors and careers that best suit you can be helpful.

All of these resources help students explore potential career paths they might be interested in and could take.

For me personally, I know this advice might seem a little obvious, but each resource I just mentioned either persuaded me to go into journalism or kept me confident in the decision I made.

Looking back, a huge benefit I realized about being in exploratory studies was the amount of self-exploration I got to do. Because when you have an undecided major, you have to really dive into who you are and what type of jobs best suit you.

Given I already had exposure to an environment that didn’t work well with me in kinesiology, along with knowledge I learned about myself based on some universityprovided career resources, I had a more clear idea of ideal work environments for me.

If change requires making a couple of adjustments to your academic calendar, then no worries. Numerous other students have made such decisions and graduated with no problem. Employers value the major that’s on your degree, not the number of years it took to receive it.

In fact, it doesn’t even mention the number of semesters or school years one spent pursuing a degree.

As long as you understand what you want from a job, and that’s what you’re pursuing, you’re free to spend whatever your academic dreams desire during college for however long it’ll take you.

Dre, our laid back, kind, conservative graduate: You are full of potential and we are so proud of you! YOU DID IT! We know you will prosper in all your future endeavors. Take advantage of this moment, live in your purpose, and allow God to use you for good. God will never give you a future that he cannot trust you with in the present. Remember if you don’t go after what you want you will never have it. You may have to let go of people or situations that drain you. If you don’t step forward, you will always stay in the same place. Never regret a day in your life because tomorrow is not promised. Good days give you happiness, bad days give you experience, worse days give you lessons, and your best days give you memories. We love you Dre and congratulations!
