Step I

I submitted my Teach for America application yesterday. It is the first phase of a long series of intensive selection process. I know that Teach for America is very selective, only about 17% of their applicants get accepted, and if somehow I fall short, it is okay, I just want to know that I tried my best. I really did put my heart into that personal letter, I just hope my passion and strong belief in their philosophy comes through in that 500 word essay. I hear back in a week with regards to whether I get a phone interview and advance to the next stage. Wish me luck!
