Planning Ahead
Time to get off my butt. I’m 30 for goodness’ sake. Well, this year, some more science classes at BMCC.
Beyond that, I think CUNY’s TOP is what I’ve been looking for. I will also apply for the NYCTF again. I will also give Teach For America a shot, and just generally apply to a couple grad school programs.
But… I’m not sure I want to spend much more time in school if I’m not actually teaching. It’s rather daunting, the idea of getting a Masters in Education only to find out I don’t really like teaching. I have a feeling that, if I don’t get into one of these programs and it comes down to a choice of going to grad school, I will probably choose something else.
A trade. A skill. Perhaps the culinary business program. Learn to run a restaurant. Then move off somewhere and start one. A cafe/bar/lounge perhaps? I’ve kinda always wanted to anyway. Better yet! A family pub where we brew some specialty beers! Um, yeah…
We shall see. Follow the teaching thread, first… It’s my ticket to moving out of this country one day. I should remember that motivation.
