Sonia Yost
Teaching after high school. Once senior Sonia Yost has graduated, she plans on attending Edinboro University. She will double major in both Secondary Education-Comprehensive English and journalism.
Q: Why did you choose to go to Edinboro University?
A: My mother works at Slippery Rock University, which is part of the PASSHE system. This means that I could go to any of the colleges that are part of that system with a high discount on my tuition. I chose Edinboro because of its distance from home, affordability and overall it just seems like a great school.
Q: What are you majoring in or planning on studying at Edinboro University?
A: I plan on double majoring in secondary education-comprehensive English and journalism.
Q: What excites you the most about college?
A: Being on my own.
Q: Is there anything about college that intimidates you?
A: Being on my own.
Q: What other colleges were you looking at as other options?
A: Basically any of the other PASSHE schools, but I was really looking into Slippery Rock, West Chester and Shippensburg.
Q: Why did you think this college was the choice for you? What about the school interested you?
A: After researching all the colleges I applied to and was accepted into, I determined that Edinboro was the best for me because of its study abroad program, clubs and internship opportunities.
Q: How do you feel about senior year ending so soon?
A: It’s really crazy how fast not only this year, but the last four years have flown by. I don’t feel entirely ready to leave high school because I know that no other time in my life will be like this, but I’m excited for what the future holds.
Q: What do you think will be the biggest difference between high school and college?
A: I think college will be a lot more internally driven and dependent on me to learn and grow. But I think this will be easier than it is in high school because I’ll be studying something that I’m more interested in–hopefully.
