Goal #66: Volunteer at a school
Last year I volunteered with Reading Partners, tutoring a kindergartener for an hour every week. It was nice to be back in the classroom, but also reminded me that our school systems are still struggling and need a lot of support and transformation. I'd like to do more to help, but I'm never quite sure where to plug in and how. What I do know is that every kid should have the opportunity to receive a high quality education in our wonderful country. And unfortunately, today, that is not the case. I am optimistic that things will improve in the future.

Goal #68: Become a Certified First Responder
My goal in becoming a certified emergency responder is so that I will be prepared for any potential disaster and can help to the best of my ability. After being in Haiti during the earthquake, I know first hand the importance of disaster prepardness and being ready to respond.
My dear friend Leah and I signed up for a Certified Emergency Responder Class in DC and were unfortunately very disappointed with the class. While the content was good, the instructor was very unprofessional and inappropriate. He was so rude and immature that Leah and I actually left the class early and did not finish it. Honestly, he was being so crass about disaster prepardness that it became offensive to me and I couldn't sit in class and listen to him anymore. Nevertheless, while I'm not officially certified, I have the book of resources the class provided and feel more prepared than I did before.
