After turning in two final papers in the past two days, I trekked down to the University of Chicago campus to see an alumna of my grad program speak.
Her story is so cool. She finished up coursework and the other requirements we have to meet and decided to move back to New York to live with her parents and finish her dissertation. On a whim, she decided to apply for a job she saw posted online with the Harlem Children's Zone. She got it. Now she's the director of educational research at HCZ - one of the most successful initiatives ever aimed at eliminating the achievement gap.
My friend Sarah and I are vying to be her when we grow up. :)
