"Princess Machine"

Loved the message from this GoldieBlox commercial, considering fewer than 3 in 10 graduates in science, technology, engineering & mathematics are women (UPWORTHY). Food for thought.

Princess Machine

college repeat

"What are your plans after you finish Teach For America?"

I feel like college graduation is slowly approaching. Again. & again, the question is consistently asked, slightly altered from two years before.

For the most part, my corp members & I dread the question. It feels weird, to not know what the next part of your life will look like.

Many of us recently attended a job fair in order to learn about other jobs within the metroplex - jobs that fight educational inequality, yet remove us from classrooms.

"You're a certified bilingual teacher? Wow. You know, these districts really need you." - Comment from a man discussing his company at job fair.

Did he really tell me I need to stay in the classroom, instead of considering working for his organization?

I'm lucky to have so many options & opportunities.
