The MSTI program helped me become a teacher. Without it, I don't know if I would have been able to fund myself through the teaching credential program. I was working 25+ hours a week at a part time job, going to school full time, and trying to student teach all at once. The MSTI scholarship I received allowed me to reduce the number of hours I needed to work to support myself and let me focus on my career as an educator in science.
