How will all this help me?
By volunteering I will learn more about the importance of helping people in your community. I will also try to volunteer in classrooms; this will help me with gaining experience in the career path I would like to follow. Helping in classrooms will help me get the hands on experience with working and teaching students and allow me to earn volunteer hours towards my degree in teaching.
I will take AP classes to earn college credit, so I have less classes to take in college. Taking Child Development 4 will help me learn more about kids and learn about dealing with kids in the classroom. Child Development 4 gives me the experience of actually being in the classroom and helping a teacher everyday. Getting a part time job will allow me to save money for college and future expenses. Having a job will also give me a new responsibility and it will teach me valuable life skills.
