Huzzah for making connections

So I was bartending for a bunch of teachers today. one of them asked me what I was majoring in and I told them education. Just about all of them stopped and shot the shit tryin to find out why I wanted to teach, what I want to teach, et cetera. Well one of the women offered me a spot for class observations and possible student teaching. The catch is that its an alternative school for kids who are felons. Kids that don't believe in themselves. I seriously want to land a job in the innercity because low income schools need teahcers and I just want to connect with a student an affect there life positively somehow. THIS IS PERFECT. second of all it'd look badass on a resume. I'm fuckin stoked. I mean it seriously brightened up the past few weeks since its been kinda hit and miss with life lately.
Only drawback is the school is like 25 miles away from me...fuck it, I'm stoked...It should be crazy good for me. and I'll get to do what I want. work with people who need me and learn from them. It will be win/win for both of us. I'll teach these kids what they need taught scholastically and some life lessons while they show me the possibilities of what they can do. I can't fuckin wait.
