The one thing I've started to do but I feel is kind of selfish is talk to my younger cousins about the different choices there are to go to high school. It's hard because I'm upstate and trying to graduate but whenever we're on the phone I'll always ask them about classes, how they like the school, etc... What I've learnt in class about different high schools such as Bard and Bronx Science, and different opportunities like after school programs, Head Start, and summer programs. I have cousins of all different ages from 2-18 and I'm just trying to tell them about things I was never told.
The second thing I'm considering doing is applying for an internship at the Department of Education so I can gain a better understanding of the workings within the system itself.
The last thing I'm doing this winter break is working at center where they tutor and mentor students. It's pretty much an after school program where kids can hang out and have fun but I will be trying to slip in little comments about the different opportunities that I've learnt from this class.
I don't plan on changing the world but as long as I can help or influence or even open the eyes of one person I think that's pretty good. Thank you everyone for teaching me this semester and good luck =-)
