I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Sociology. What do you plan to do after your year of service? Through serving, I was hoping to learn if I wanted to get my teaching license. I have really enjoyed working with EL students, and I am excited to begin graduate school next year to get my ESL license! What has been the most surprising challenge of your service so far? I was surprised how much I love working with 8th graders! It is as wild as I imagined, so there is never a boring day. They are really fun to get to know and I admire how strong-willed they all are in their beliefs; they always stand up for what they believe is right. I think that's something older teenagers and adults lose as we learn to conform to societal norms and expectations. Click here to read more profiles of AmeriCorps members currently serving in CoL!
