I started working on my Master’s degree in Elementary Education in Fall 2018. I got in to the Teach For America Graduate Fellows Program, and it meant that I would have the opportunity to pursue a master’s degree and a social entrepreneurship project. Grants would cover my tuition and be available to fund my project. It seemed like a great opportunity, so I jumped in.
It was hard, for sure, to balance teaching full time (at a new school, in a new grade and content) with doing full time grad classes, but I’m glad I put in the work and made it happen. I feel really proud of making it through and graduating, and keeping a 4.0 gpa for my entire degree.
