Teacher to be

City Year hasn’t changed me, it was what I was waiting for my whole life. But I will admit it’s making me a better person, a more responsible person. And it’s given me a career goal. I am almost 100% sure I want to be a teacher, probably a special ed or ESOL teacher. Just because I want to be a teacher doesn’t mean only prospective teachers should join City Year. Children everywhere need someone to help them, just someone to sit there and care, maybe just the few extra minutes that no one else has time for. If you think your life is pointless, be brave. Your life has meaning if it means something to someone else. Step outside your comfort zone. Give a year. Change the World! It’s not as hard as you’d think…
