It's definitely been a while since I've last posted. I would like to apologize and recommit myself to the discipline of frequent blogging and journaling :)
I will set the following goals (in traditional TFA spirit) for my blog :)
1) I will update at least twice a week
2) I will write about one particular event/thought
3) I will write concisely
4) I will include one picture in each entry
I am part of a program called Teach For America and have been assigned to teach Secondary Special Education in South Louisiana. I'll be in the city of Baton Rouge or in one of the surrounding parishes for the next two years.
The reason I initially joined Teach For America was because I saw it as a great opportunity for personal and professional development. I figured it would be a great transition following four years of college, to give back to the community, and kind of postpone having to make more life decisions for two years.
Since then, this thought process has definitely progressed as I better understood the issues that are facing children of low-income communities all over the nation and heard the voices of those who are being affected by it. So as I embark on this journey of learning and growing! I hope to keep you all well informed of how my thoughts progress and how my life changes to reflect it :)
To end! I have 2 videos instead of a picture that will more eloquently describe the program I'm in and paint a better picture of the issues that I think I'll be posting about in the future.
NEXT: The Trip to SLA!
