I started as an Education major with the intent to teach high school English - I just knew I wanted to make a difference in people's lives. Working in different parts of these communities though and seeing how deeply systemic barriers impact marginalized communities made me realize how much farther these issues go beyond just the classroom. Now as an English and Social Justice major, I intend to go to law school to work with at-risk youth (family law). Service learning has shown me not just what I want to do with the education I get, but also the kind of person I want to be.
