This essay is to be 300 words or less. I feel as though it's good, but not sure on if I should elaborate on my future goals and how City Year would help in achieving those goals.
Why do you want to become a City Year corps member?
Helping people is a passion of mine. Whether it is volunteering or being the shoulder to lean on, knowing that I made even the smallest difference in someone's life puts a huge smile on my face. It is a main reason why I am working towards becoming a counselor. I would love to work in a school district, but before that can be done, I would need experience working first hand with the children.
City year would be a tremendous opportunity to gain the experience I feel is necessary to understand what truly goes on in the classroom. Teachers are some of the most influential people in the world because of what they can show young, developing minds. A teacher can have some amazing ideas to make the classroom better, but without the proper financial and emotional support, those ideas would be more difficult to achieve.
