Being Baylie

  Baylie Kress, a long-running member of The Buzz Newspaper, is going off to college soon, these next few years. This is a farewell and good luck to Miss Kress. 
  Miss Kress’ choice of college is Idaho State University(ISU) in Pocatello, Idaho. She plans to follow the footsteps of her brother and sister where they went to college, ISU. Due to the 53-minute drive down to Pocatello, Kress was [thinking about] driving down for school while still being at home. After discussing her possible plan with her parents, Kress decided to move to Pocatello full-time to avoid the commute. One of the major points her parents pointed out was her “gas money if [she] keep[s] driving down.” Her current plan is to stay in a door room on campus and have a roommate. Kress chose this college due to the fact she is still close to home while still being able to have her own space. 
  Her college plan is to gain a major in elementary education. Her goal is to become a teacher, specifically for preschool/kindergarten. This goal will take a considerable amount of work. There are multiple parts of ISU teacher education courses. As ISU education focuses mostly on early childhood, elementary, special, and secondary education. However, college funding is no exception for Kress, ISU tuition ranges from $7,872 (in state) to $25,326 (out of state). Luckily, Kress lives in Idaho so it would be on the lower side. Kress was additionally thinking about taking a gap year to work for college. She is thinking of working in a “restaurant or somewhere close in town.” Kress's plan for taking the job is to pay for all of her tuition, without taking out a loan. Although, if life has other plans for Kress other than college. She plans to “just work and work” preferably at a daycare or restaurant. 
  Kress believes the biggest challenge she has to face in college is “staying away from home and [school] work.”  Mostly due to procrastination as any other high student deals with. Kress is taking a step forward in her future, so farewell and good luck to Kress on her journey at ISU!
