STUFF ABOUT ME:
Every morning I wake up at 5 am to get ready to make the hour commute to my school in boyle heights, a low income community in east LA. I tutor in a classroom from 8-1:30 then help run an after school program from 2:30-5:30. This, of course, is a brief summary of what I do and if you could only see the blood, sweat, and tears that go into my job on a daily basis you might be a little shocked. Fridays and saturdays are the days I get to relax, and by relax I mean spend my day beautifying a school or cleaning a park. Sunday I write lesson plans and get 8 hours of sleep (4 more than I sleep every other day of the week) as I dream about the next day at school.
I am truly proud of the service I have provided and can say that this experience has opened my eyes to the astonishing efforts young people can make in one year.
Give a year. Change the world.
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:
I may be young, but I am passionate and dedicated to my cause. :D PLEASE VOTE!

Happy February, Crowdrise friend! Thank you for your support, through your donations, votes, advocacy and friendliness. You probably know all about the amazing promos that CR runs. Right now, I think the most awesome is the chance to win an iPad 2. Every time you donate $26, you are entered to win.
Your $26 donation to a Reader to Reader project would help us send 2 boxes full of books to an under-resourced library here in the states, or support special education in the DR, or get a women's school built in Nigeria, or get books to families in transition... there are plenty of choices and who knows, you might get lucky!
Happy reading,
Kat

A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint.... What I began by reading, I must finish by acting. ~Henry David Thoreau
