Day 2!

Day 2 of the Thirty Day Challenge: Where would you like to be in ten years?

Ten years from now, I will be teaching at a low- income, high- poverty urban school here in South Carolina. But between now and then, a lot will happen. Next summer I am planning on spending eight weeks in Africa or India with a program called Cross Cultural Solutions, working with the education systems and in the health clinics. After that, I will enter my senior year of college. I will have two main projects that year- one will be student teaching at a high school here in Charleston, and the other will either be a Bachelor's Essay or a Research Project with a physics professor here at the college. After my senior year of college, I plan on joining the Peace Corps. My plan is to leave in July after I graduate college; I'll be gone roughly 27 months. After I get back, I will find a job teaching high school in South Carolina. Because of the grants I've been given, I have to complete four consequetive years of teaching in a high risk environment in South Carolina within the eight years after I complete my undergraduate studies. I plan on teaching for two years and establishing myself as an educator, and then going back to get a master's degree in education and teaching advocacy.

That's my plan. Its all up in the air still, but this is what I want to do with my life.
