I would teach. Plain and simple. I've always enjoyed working with kids, and I could see myself becoming a college professor or teaching in some form at some point in my career. I think I would get a lot out of either one. The Peace Corps would probably be a great experience. After spending a semester in Spain, I would relish the opportunity to travel more and develop an even better understanding of other peoples, in addition to spreading American culture to others. After spending time abroad, I realized that many foreigners don't really understand American culture and I would love to be able to share the American life with others.
But Teach for America stresses educational equality and impacting kids. That to me is far more valuable. In low-income communities throughout the U.S., there are schools that can't afford the means to provide a solid education for students. Every child has the right to a good education, and if I can help just a few more children receive the education they deserve, I would be satisfied. Granted, I wouldn't be a certified teacher and wouldn't be as experienced as other might be, but I really think I could make a difference and provide something special to these kids.
