I am already two weeks into the total fifteen of my last semester of my senior year...and I don't know how it happened! It seems like I just got back from Jamaica, and the thing is that it also seems like I have been back for a month! Two weeks down and thirteen to go...WHAT?! I guess that as I write this, it is hitting me more and more that I will be graduated in less than four months!
Thankfully, there have been a few good opportunities that have presented themselves to me in terms of post-graduate jobs. I think right now the most promising, and exciting for me, is with an organization called Teach for America. They take recent graduates, who don't have education degrees, and give them the training they need to teach. Even better than that, they place their employees in areas that are in need of good teachers. Teach for America's mission is "to build the movement to eliminate educational inequity by enlisting our nation's most promising future leaders in the effort" (teachforamerica.org). A friend of mine from California casually mentioned the program to me while we were visiting, and it seemed like things began to fall into place! I went home, looked them up online, and applied the next week.
One of the other opportunities I have is working with the Coalition for Christian Outreach (CCO). Their motto is "Transforming college students to transform the world" (ccojubilee.org). They work on and around college campuses to mentor students and to challenge them to integrate their faith with their learning and beyond that. We have several CCO members who work with us here at Waynesburg University, and they have made a grand impact on my life. I was able to participate in a summer trip with them two years ago, called Leadership and Discipleship in the Wilderness (LDW). It was an amazing experience! I was in the middle of the Georgian Bay in Canada for a month with 15 others. We sea kayaked, and did a lot of looking into ourselves. The trip completely changed my life, and how I approach many situations.
Well, back to the present...Auditions for Lil Abner, the spring musical, took place this last week. I am super excited to find out about the results of the auditions, which will hopefully be up today...and if not, Monday. I am ready for a nice weekend, which is very uneventful, and that is fine with me! I plan to continue reading the Twilight series! I finished the third book last night, and I am ready to find out what happens next!
Tune in next time!
