"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.
