Teach For America


A job that won't just change my life

but help others change theirs too.

Teach For America,

thats what I want to do. 

I want to spread a wildfire

in students that I'll teach

Ignite the passion 

to help them find their own hopes and dreams.

Give them the chance to find their one job.

The chance I had too,

one everyone deserves.

Teaching will change my life.

Knowing I'll have helped children on their 

own journey of life.

The career thats been

calling out to me.

I will help change the world

with the job that starts a fire.

And that job will change me.
