Bill"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

I knew by my junior year of high school that I would not be successful if I went straight to college after graduation. I also could not afford it. I was smart enough to pass my classes, but my grades suffered because I neglected my homework more often than not. If an assignment required any amount of effort outside of school hours, it was almost certainly not being completed. I was so sure that I would be enlisting in the military that I didn\u2019t even bother to take the SAT or ACT, choosing to take only the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) and effectively locking myself into the choice. I graduated from Blaine High School in Blaine, Washington, in June 2015 and was off to Air Force basic training in San Antonio by December. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Two<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Basic training was like a whole new world where everything felt like it was designed to help me thrive. I was excellent at following orders; all the tests were rote memorization. The constant movement, consistent routines and lack of opportunity to slack off catapulted me to the top of my class, and I graduated after eight weeks \u201cwith honors.\u201d I then spent another four months in technical training for my career field before being sent to my first (and only!) duty station, in Grand Forks, North Dakota. I was initially excited to be living in a new place, but my tone quickly changed as the first winter hit in full. From November to March, the average high <\/em>temperature is a toasty 26\u00b0 with an average low temperature of 7\u00b0, and that doesn\u2019t account for the annual 49 inches of snowfall or winds gusting upwards of 50 mph. I had an outdoor job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I was generally pretty successful (promoting quickly, source of reliability for superiors, no administrative paperwork, etc.), there was a combination of factors that led to my eventual decision not to reenlist in the Air Force. First and foremost, I did not care for my career. I found the work mentally and physically draining, the culture in the workplace was toxic, and I did not see eye to eye with the majority of my coworkers. Secondly, I spent my entire enlistment at one very cold, very remote, very boring base. Lastly, when I joined, I knew that I would be ill-equipped to succeed in a college environment, but after spending the majority of six years in such a structured, disciplined, no-nonsense workspace, I felt much more prepared to get my degree. My partner and I moved back to Washington state when my enlistment ended in December 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While my partner finished her master\u2019s degree, I worked for a couple years as a mail carrier in Ferndale, Washington. This second stint with a government agency was difficult in a different way. I was working an average of 70 hours a week, delivering mail and packages to every edge of the city limits. I was working this much because shortly after I started all of the substitute mail carriers quit, except for me. For a little over a year, I was delivering mail 12 hours a day, six days a week, until I became a full-time rural mail carrier. My hours were cut in half, and it turned into the best career I had tried to date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change came again, however, when my partner got hired to work as a data analyst at VA Puget Sound in Seattle. I had always intended to use my G.I. Bill to get a degree, and this provided me with the perfect opportunity to do so. I applied to the University of Washington Bothell with the intent to get a degree in Conservation & Restoration Science, and once accepted I enrolled in classes starting in winter 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When building my schedule, I wanted to take classes that would check as many boxes as possible with regard to General Education requirements. I came across a class that would provide credits in diversity, writing and social sciences called \u201cU.S. History and the Enduring War For Control of K-12 Curriculum: From Invasion to Insurrection,\u201d with Dr. Sarah Beth Shear, associate professor in the School of Educational Studies<\/a>. I could not register fast enough, as a 3-for-1 class is not something that you see often, and it seemed interesting enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to halfway through my first quarter, and I am enthralled by Dr. Shear\u2019s passion for social studies, the abhorrent shortcomings of the curricular materials being used in classrooms across the U.S., and the importance of being a positive voice for change in the community. I couldn\u2019t stop talking about the class with my partner, and she suggested I do an inventory of all the things I enjoyed and disliked from the jobs I had done up to this point to see if conservation was really the right path for me. I did, and what I found was an interesting through line: the thing I enjoyed most about every career I\u2019d been in was training new people how to do it right \u2014 teaching them tips and tricks to make sure they were as well equipped as possible to succeed moving forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d say it dawned on me, but it couldn\u2019t really have been more obvious: I wanted to be an educator. I approached Dr. Shear, and she helped me get started on the process of changing majors. My courses lined up beautifully so that there would be no delay of my graduation. It all felt like the universe\u2019s way of saying \u201cDuh, of course you should be a teacher.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m now in my final year of the program. I am interning in a fifth-grade classroom, and I have never felt more at home in a workplace than I do at my internship. I have heard stories about people getting their teaching degree and realizing it wasn\u2019t at all what they wanted, but I have never felt more sure of my future than I do right now. I am on the right track, and I can\u2019t wait to graduate and get started! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
