Dreams

I dream of educational equality and clean water.

Two huge projects, but with the right support and passionate people, I believe we can change the world!

Here are two videos about my two favorite organizations right now. I've joined the first organization and will begin teaching in my own classroom in the Fall! (You may need to copy and paste the link into your browser)

The other organization is a wonderful one called Charity Water. Here is their most recent video explaining the water crisis and what we can do to change it.

I want to get involved with Charity Water and begin bringing clean water to countries all over the world. To help in this cause, visit www.charitywater.org

It's official! I AM A TEACHER!

Best. News. Ever.

I found out on Tuesday that I have been accepted by Teach For America into the 2011 corps! I will be teaching elementary school in Saint Louis, Mo. I'm so EXCITED!!!!

I won't know the actual grade I'm teaching or what school I'm placed in until the summer. Cross your fingers I get to work with the little ones (K-2nd). But no matter where I'm placed, I know it'll be fantastic! I cannot WAIT to start!!

PRAISE HIM!

Pray Pray Pray

I have my final interview session with Teach For America October 19th from 8 am to 9 pm. AHHHHHH!!! Fire up those prayers, people (and keep your fingers crossed).

TfA Update!

Soooo I've been invited back to the final interview session for Teach for America, which is quite exciting! I will be involved in a day-long interview that starts at 8 am. It will consist of a group interview, I'll have to teach a lesson, do a one-on-one interview, sit in on a few seminar-like workshops, and do an activity/quiz. I'm nervous but very, VERY excited. If you believe in praying, now would be a great time! You can also cross your fingers.

I don't know just yet when my day-long interview will be taking place, but I will let everyone know for sure when it is once I hear/sign up. (They are taking place October 18th-22nd). Eeep! I'm really, really excited!

EEEEEP!

The Teach For America application is up...and I have been working on it! Keep your fingers crossed, and for those of you who pray, fire up those prayers!
