Sophomore Year and Extracurriculars

Graduate School
1

<p>Hey, y’all!</p>

<p>So, I’m not sure what to do. I’m a rising sophomore at a prestigious university, and I only had time to take up one extracurricular activity in my Freshmen year: a capella. The thing is that I want to go to grad school for special childhood education, and so far, I have a job that’s geared towards ending human trafficking (especially of children) in New York City for this summer. This is part of my purpose-- helping at-risk children-- since I’d ultimately like to teach children who are in rough situations. Anyways, is it too late if I take up extracurricular activities in tutoring, working with the learning disabled/autistic, and teaching children from low-income families how to operate radios starting my sophomore year of college? I plan to apply for special education and general education internships in Summer 2009. Please help. If you could, that’d be great! Thanks~ </p>

<p>Oh, by the way, there is no education major at my college. Instead, I’m double-majoring in Spanish and the Earth & Environmental Sciences.</p>

<p>It’s not too late.</p>

<p>Nope! Go right ahead!</p>

Why would you want to teach poor kids an expensive and boring old-people hobby like ham radio? Might as well teach them to race Segways.</p>

<p>So kids from middle class families don’t deserve your help? I’m sorry. I just don’t understand the willingness to help low income families instead of just helping whoever wants help.</p>

<p>Because givers have to know when to say no, because takers never do.</p>

<p>Don’t criticize others who help the needy unless you’re showing how to do it by example.</p>
