Oh, the Peace Corps...I can hear you calling my name!
I've got my life plan set in motion...finally. Or some sort of temporary plan at least. I'm finally excited about my major; Environmental Sciences: Biology with a minor in English. I made the decision to switch from and English major after the self-realization that I need the security of having a back-up plan to teaching English. Plus, I love, love my program. It interests me as much as English, and I can be sure that it'll get me into a job that I love in case teaching doesn't pan out right away. But teaching is what I want to do. I don't care if I don't make a lot of money, or I have misbehaved students that give me nightmares occasionally. I'm not afraid of anyone's horror stories. I cannot wait to get in the classroom and start teaching! Whether it be English or Bio, I know I'll find what's right for me.
So, in short, here's my plan: get through my undergrad and head for the Peace Corps. Although the idea of being so committed for a long period of time, I'm excited and eager to do it. The Peace Corps has been in my mind for a long time now and I know it's what I want to do. I suppose things could change and when I get closer to graduation I'll want to change my plan, but this just seems right. I want to travel, to help people, to teach, to learn.
School is well and work is exhausting. I cannot wait until summer...and I'm not even half way through the year. Oh, boy.
