Why did you decide to do the MTC Summer Internship?
____The short answer behind my decision can be summed up in a few bulleted points:
  - I want to teach;
  - I want to help young people; and
  - I want to live and work in a rural, poor setting.
I see the Internship as an excellent opportunity to help a program that seems to be making change in desperate communities, and also to "scout out" the South as a setting to possibly fulfill those three bulleted items. I'm very intrigued by the MTC, and I look forward to applying for it myself after I graduate from St. John's in 2010.

What are my goals for the summer?
____Another bulleted list will do nicely:
  - Help the MTC;
  - Get a good picture of the South;
  - Learn about inequity in schools;
  - See for myself the critical issues in secondary school education; and
  - Write a reflective essay for others to gain some kind of insight about the MTC and Mississippi.
