Hello, my name is Emma Babcock! I am originally from Northwest Ohio and I am pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education. I am an Advocates for Communities and Education (ACES) Scholar and also a member of Ohio Students Education Association (OSEA) here on campus. I currently have a job on campus working as an office assistant for the Department of Teaching and Learning for graduate students. I am here at Ohio State because I believe that this is the best place to get a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. I believe that I will be well prepared and that going here will set me apart from others. My goal is to teach the second grade. I hope to make a lasting impression on my students and make them into lifelong learners. I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I was in third grade. I had a whole classroom set up in my basement and would spend hours on end down there. I am excited to see all that will come out of my next few years here at Ohio State!
