So it's no secret that I like to apply for things. (I have deferred my admission for two completely separate degree programs for this fall. I still apply for jobs even though I have a couple that I'm pretty content with. The list goes on...) It's something I get made fun of for on a pretty regular basis. I even coined a term for it in college: compulsive joining. I've actually tried to make my compulsive joining a little more planned and purposeful and with that in mind (and also the fact that I miss civilization and New York City more each day), I applied for Teach for America, an organization focused on closing the achievement gap that places teachers in high needs school in 35 urban and rural areas across the country and also NYC Teaching Fellows, a program with a similar mission but specific to New York City.
On Thursday I found out that I was offered a phone interview for Teach for America and an in person interview for NYC Teaching Fellows! It was a pretty exciting day! :) So I'm headed back to the Greatest City on Earth sometime the second week in February. I will hear back from Teach for America on January 26th if I am offered an in person interview so I'm hoping I can kill two birds with one stone. New York City here I come! :)
