blogtober day 2

The Daily Tay

Day 2: Dream job when you were little/and now?

When I was little I wanted to be a teacher...or a CSI or a spy (can you tell that I watched CSI and Alias). I am a teacher now and I like it but I have recently thought about working full time for a nonprofit or charity. Another job where I can truly be helping others and making a difference. 

Obviously the CSI and spy gigs didn't stick around for too long for me :)
