The sun slowly goes down while the darkness starts to come out, signaling the end of the day for most people. For Ashley Sellers, studying and reading from her textbook in the library is more important than heading home.
Sellers is a meticulous student who knows that the work she puts in now at the college level, will pay off for her when she walks across the stage and gets her diploma, but for now her time is filled with doing work for her classes and studying towards her major in Special Education.
“I’ve always wanted to be a teacher growing up,” Sellers said, “and having a teaching job where I can help people who have learning disabilities, is a reward within itself.”
When she gets a job as a teacher, especially in Oklahoma, Sellers knows that she won’t be getting rich by any means with the profession that she is pursuing, but to her it is not about the money, it is about the kids that she will be interacting with and influencing.
With the rigorous studying that Sellers does, she keeps herself motivated by listening to music, while she listens to just about anything. She also loves doodling, either when she is in class concentrating or she is just passing time.
The random lines and scribbles she makes out to the side next to her notes is a way for her to help think when she is doing problems or writing a paper.
While most students are rushing to get out of the classroom, Sellers is in no rush, as she will make a career out of being in the classroom, only she won’t be a student.
