Why did you join MTC?  I joined MTC to play ultimate Frisbee twice a week.  Seriously.  I tried a couple different things after college, but I never really stuck with anything too long because I found it all so empty and unsatisfying.  Not until I became a teacher with Peace Corps in Africa did I feel like I was doing the right thing with my life.  I truly believe, as the famous Ben Guest tell us, teaching is one of the hardest, but also one of the most rewarding jobs we will ever do.  I joined MTC to serve an area in need of quality teachers, to gain the credentials I need as a professional teacher, and to become the best teacher I can be.  Hoorah for MTC!
