NaOmi Mitchell-Neil is an educator at Precious Day Learning Academy in St. Louis working toward her associate degree in early childhood education.
‘Being a part of the T.E.A.C.H. MISSOURI Scholarship has helped me tremendously. The program helped me take all the courses I need to receive my associate degree at a faster pace. The affordability of going to college seemed impossible. Normally, I would be worried about how my tuition and books were going to be paid. T.E.A.C.H. MISSOURI made affording classes possible and relieved so much pressure off me. Through hard times, the T.E.A.C.H. MISSOURI counselor helped me stay encouraged and focused on what my outcomes would be. My main goal was to get my associate degree, but I’ve been thinking about getting my bachelor’s and master’s degrees too now. I feel like being a part of T.E.A.C.H. MISSOURI will help me meet all my goals, while continuing to better my education. I would recommend the T.E.A.C.H. MISSOURI scholarship to anyone who is looking to further their education and become an early childhood teacher.’
