Has anyone here done the program? If so - what did you think? Was is what you expected?
For those who don't know,
Teach for America is a program that places exceptional college graduates from all majors in teaching positions in low-income, urban areas of the country. You teach there for 2 years and the goal is to make a difference.
I'll be graduating in May 2004 and though I want to go to law school - this program sounds so incredible to me. I have always been a "giver" - i love giving back to the community, helping people out, and sharing my talents with others. I really think this would be an amazing experience before law school, that could eventually lead to a career in law reform for the educational system or politics with a focus on education.
