Teacher Cadet is a state-adopted curriculum that is offered in more than 100 public high schools in South Carolina, including our school, Spring Valley High in Columbia, the state capital. The class is designed to allow students to explore teaching as a career. Part of our curriculum focuses on the history of education, particularly as it relates to education in South Carolina, which has been a rich, but sad history in many respects. Fifty years after Brown v. Board, children in South Carolina public schools do not enjoy education equity.

Last summer I traveled to Belize to work as medical volunteer with the organization International Service Learning. Along with 12 other volunteers and 2 doctors, we set up 3 temporary medical clinics near the western border of the country. At each clinic, we were able to see as many as 100 people with ailments ranging from machete wounds to diabetes. Within our clinic we had a make-shift pharmacy consisting of the medical supplies the volunteers brought from the United States. The pharmacy soon ran out of basic necessities the people needed, such as pre-natal vitamins and worm medication.
