And it's PAID!!!!!
It has nothing to do with my major, or interests, but hey. I take what I can get. And I'm only a sophomore, so there'll be plenty of time to work in law firms next year and the year after.
I'll be tutoring at-risk kids in reading and math (6th and 4th grade) at a local public charter school, to help them prepare for the FCAT (state grade level tests) in March. This school mainly serves kids who come from low-income areas -- some of them are homeless. Some of them are several grade levels behind where they should be, due to moving, substandard education in the past, etc. so my job is to help them get up to speed if at all possible.
They actually offered me a choice of a struggling elementary school or a high-achieving high school, but I picked this one. These kids need it WAY more, and I feel like I'll make much more of an impact.
Plus, this will help me when I apply for the Truman Scholarship next year. You have to pick a current situation and write a public policy proposal about how it can be improved, and I wanted to do the state of public education, so I think this is going to work out perfectly.
I'm so happy!!
