Future Plans

near future:

• finish AmeriCorps* service
• attend Empower '07 conference in May
• possibly visit Korea and this perfect international law school I found

next one/two/three years future options:

• teach English in Korea for a year: I can eat lots of yummy food, build relationships with students, build a relationship with my father
• apply to law school: I'm scared.
• become an analyst at the D.A.'s office: basically an office job. It's secure, good money, but it doesn't excite me.
• become a counselor at the jail: It's similar to being a high school counselor - planning schedules, helping individuals prepare for reentry into the community. This possibility probably excites me the most because I can have one-on-one meetings and be creative with the position. I can even develop curriculum and teach a class. I really see this as a potential ministry. JJ was trying to scare me from the position. Actually, he was just warning me. He told me that I would be surrounding myself with people who are not emotionally, mentally and sometimes physically well. He said that I would be vulnerable to various illnesses. I was telling my mom about this job and what JJ said to me. She replied, But you like those kinds of people.

Another response:

Dearest Youngeun,
Those are good options. If you want to take a few days in New York to clear your head, let me know. We can arrange some gallery-hopping afternoons for you, concluded by scones and tea.

Love,
Me

It's always so nice to feel understood.
