“I wanted to be a teacher. I met with an advisor who told me that all the courses were during the day. I was told that I would have to quit my job in order to complete the program. I remember crying in the parking lot because there was no way for me to quit my job, feed my family and afford to go to school. I felt like I was never going to be a teacher” (WOU graduate and Oregon kindergarten teacher, 2018).
