I feel free. I've taken great steps in giving up concern. I'd like to think of myself as independent of reality. I've just given up effort; it's time for me to let the river of life carry me out to sea. I've just let everything go. While I'm committed to doing good for the world, I realize I can't fight fate, and I'm just going to have to wait for my cue. When it comes, I'll step out on stage, play my part, and exit, more than content to hang out backstage until the afterparty, which should be pretty fun.
I'm going to teach History, and perhaps branch into the other social sciences, maybe even Humanities. I couldn't feel better about this decision. I want to help, and I help by facilitating others. I want to work with important social subjects, and this way I can pass the strength of knowledge onto others, onto a generation that's going to need to be very concerned about the past, as it faces an exponentially altering future.
Of course, not being one to notice such things, it has recently occurred to me that I have no idea what kind of schooling is involved. If anyone has any information on the education process for a future educator, please, enlighten me.
That's all I have for tonight, and as per request, tomorrow's post will be on the subject of unrequited love.
You all have a good one.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts."

You need a bachelors in secondary education being certified to teach whichever subject. I've always been told the "teaching" schools in Illinois are UIUC, ISU, DePaul, and Eastern, if youre interested in looking at any.
I can always see you being a teacher, and the social sciences does seem like your field. I say go for it. Tim has the right information, basically if your doing social sciences, major in some type of social science with a teaching minor i believe, you can always ask your advisor at harper.
