Yesterday, I went to the post office to send off a few final graduation invitations. An older woman behind me in line noticed the invitations and, after congratulating me, asked the inevitable question: "So, what's next?"
The very moment that "Teach for America" passed my lips, this woman interrupted me with "Oh, bless your heart," and hugged me close to her chest. She told me that people like me made her have hope in the future and that with the dedication of leaders like me, we just might make it after all.
Wow. I'm already making people think about the ways we're doing things in this world and I haven't even officially started yet...I think I'm going to like this job.
