Shelby Hay's Timeline

By Shelby Hay

  • Graduated Highschool

    I am from a small town in Eastern Kentucky called Louisa. I have lived there my whole entire life, and graduated from Lawrence County High School in 2015!

  • Declared business major

    Going into college I felt pressure to declare a major, because I was still undecided. I declared a General Business major in hopes to find something in that field area of my interest.

  • College soccer @ Morehead State University

    I received a full scholarship to play soccer for Morehead State University, this was the main reason I chose this school. College soccer at a Division 1 school took a tole on my personal life and school life as well. This wasn't for me.

  • Transferred to Shawnee State University

    I decided to transfer to SSU, mainly because I was interested in the Dental Hygiene program.

  • Declared Health Science Major - pursuing Dental Hygiene

    After being rejected into the Dental Hygiene program the first time I decided to pursue a Health Science Bachelors degree in hopes of eventually getting into the program.

  • College Soccer and Tennis @ Shawnee : GO BEARS!

    I wanted to still play sports, and I needed help funding my college tuition so I decided to play soccer and tennis for the university on scholarship.

  • Quit Soccer and Changed Major to Early Childhood Ed. !!!

    Playing two sports, working, and in school became way too stressful for me so I quit soccer because tennis was able to give me the funds that I needed. I also got rejected into the Dental Hygiene Program a 2nd time, so I decided to change my major for a yes, 3RD TIME!

  • Decided to pursue Dual License ECSE

    I've always known I wanted to be a teacher, it is the only thing I could ever really see myself doing. I was just deterred away from it by so many people that cared about me closely. I decided to follow my heart and pursue the dual license program here at Shawnee!

  • Shawnee State CLC

    I was informed about the daycare on campus, and applied for a job in hopes to get some experience working with young children. I got the job and I mostly worked in the infant room!

  • Behind Schedule so Summer Classes it is :)

    At the end of the school year, I reviewed my study plan and decided I didn't want to go an extra semester to complete my degree. I sat down with my advisers and we came up with a plan to have my graduated in two years, which included summer classes :)

  • Phonics Class!

    I am excited about learning new things in this class. As an early childhood educator, in hopes of working with kindergarten or 1st grade students it will be very important that I use the information i learn in this class to help introduce reading to my future students.
