TEACH Roadtrip

This summer I'm embarking on an adventure. >> Cross the United States from coast to coast. >> Discovering what the term education and educator even means. [MUSIC] I have that pressure, why don't you have a real job? What are you doing with your life? >> Yeah yeah. >> When you were going to college did you already know that you had this interest in education? >> I mean you seem very controlled about your own life and very driven, so I'm wondering, was there a time when you were less sure about yourself? >> Yes, yeah. >> Tell me about that. >> I don't know what I'm going to do after I graduate. I'm kind of hoping that going on the road trip will give me more of an idea what to do. >> I'm interested in teaching, but I don't know. >> All the answers and all the questions that we have are just getting like tumbled in this machine right now. >> I think I'm starting to notice that there's a lot more about me that makes me tick. >> I've been so inspired by people that we've talked to and the work that we're doing. >> I call my mom and I was like I need to tell you everything that happened in this interview. >> We can really do something about this and it is our generation, we're gonna be those leaders who really make a difference. >> That's something that I wanna emulate when I'm a teacher. >> Is that decided now? You said when I'm a teacher, not if I become a teacher. >> Man I did say that. [LAUGH] >> [MUSIC]
