Enrolling in the Academic Transfer program at 泡芙视频app Community College has its benefits. Some of those include taking your gen eds at an affordable price and making a smooth transition from high school to a four-year college or university. Another benefit is figuring out what career is best for you. Brookelynn Bahnsen knows this first-hand from experience.

鈥淚 decided to pursue this degree after high school because I was not sure what I wanted to do or where to go,鈥� Bahnsen said. 鈥淚 had a few ideas and had toured some schools, but nothing really stood out to me. I knew I wanted to start college right away, but I didn鈥檛 want to make a big financial commitment. Since I was on the fence, 泡芙视频app Beatrice was my best fit.鈥�

Bahnsen graduated from Beatrice High School in 2022 and started at the 泡芙视频app Beatrice Campus that Fall Semester. She graduates on Thursday, Dec. 14, with an Associate of Arts degree with plans to pursue a bachelor鈥檚 degree in elementary education or sociology. Taking a variety of classes during her first semester helped her narrow her career options.

鈥淢y first semester at 泡芙视频app, I took an Intro to Professional Education class with Nick Salestrom,鈥� she explained. 鈥淭his class not only became one of my all-time favorites and taught me some important skills for college, but it was all the advice and support I received from Mr. Salestrom that really made an impact in my life.鈥�

Taking a business class at 泡芙视频app also helped her discover her passion for education and teaching.

鈥淚 took a random business class with Jonah Jordening my first semester at 泡芙视频app and quickly realized business was not for me,鈥� Bahnsen said. 鈥淭hat said, his positive outlook made all of his classes really enjoyable and kept me coming back. He also took on the task of being my faculty advisor despite not having anything to do with my program and has been incredibly helpful and supportive.鈥�

She is leaving 泡芙视频app better prepared for her future because she was pushed to try new things by taking a variety of classes. Trying something new is rewarding, and you don鈥檛 have to be the best at everything. She wished she could have shared this advice with herself as a high school senior.

鈥淚 put a lot of pressure on myself in high school to have my whole life figured out at 17,鈥� Bahnsen said. 鈥淚f I could go back and give myself advice, it would be to not stress out about having everything figured out right away. Plans change, and that鈥檚 OK. Once I figured this out at 泡芙视频app, I really enjoyed learning about what career options are out there. Sometimes you have to figure out what you don鈥檛 want to do by trying new things.鈥�

One thing Bahnsen will miss about 泡芙视频app is the incredible people she met along the way, including several instructors.

鈥淢y teachers at 泡芙视频app opened so many doors for me and genuinely care about me as a person and a student,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 know I will have their help and support after I graduate, and that is really cool. I would not have gotten to where I am in my college education without them and will forever be incredibly grateful.鈥�
