Graduation: 2014
Major: Elementary Education
Elementary education major Michael Reeves has always loved working with children, which is why he wants to be a third- or fourth-grade teacher after graduating from Alma College.
“At that age, kids are really starting to get into more depth in their learning, and it is a pivotal point because it’s when they start to either love or hate school,” he says. “I want to help them develop a love of learning. For me, seeing the moment when it clicks, and they understand something you’ve taught them is probably the best feeling in the world.”
