Junior Achievement

Just finished my third class as a Junior Achievement volunteer. This is a great program which invites professionals from the community to go into schools and teach students some of the fundamentals of business. My boyfriend scoffs at the idea of me covering such a topic, but really I think it’s going pretty well. My kids are brilliant, poliet, and engaged, which makes my job pretty easy! I’m required as part of my teaching certification process to engage in some “education for employment” fieldwork, which this counts as, but really I’m mostly happy that I finally get a chance to start volunteering again. It’s been so long since I’ve had anything but material goods & money to donate to the causes I care about. Although I had been thinking I would go on a tropical adventure with my time off in August, I think I might do a service trip instead. I will have to look into it though — since I no longer have an active affilitation with a church, it can be difficult to find the right kind of opportunity that fits with my schedule and interests . . .
