“There really is no place like home. As a Teacher Education major at TFC, I found my home away from home. The incredible professors always went above and beyond, pouring into every student. While the program was most definitely rigorous, it never felt impossible or discouraging because of the amazingly supportive community found in the Teacher Education department. Not only did I learn how to manage a classroom and lead students, I also learned how to be the light and represent Christ both inside and outside of the classroom. It was that lens that made all of the difference! Even now, ten years later, I still utilize the skills and confidence gained during my time at Toccoa Falls College and will always strive to be a 'lifelong learner.'”
