In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education. 1your small town and make something of yourself. Success and opportunity will be found elsewhere.
After 2 from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go.
I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school before. 3, I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. I understood the difference in 4 atmosphere and I wanted to stretch myself and 5 my comfort zone. You know what? I 6 loved my time there. But one thing took me by 7, that is to say, the lack of countryside representation. 8 of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco... And when I had 9 with these students in or outside of class—we almost focused on topics 10 large American cities. In my education classes, it was always "urban this" and "urban that5'. It was like small towns didn't 11in the USA.
And this urban interest doesn't just happen in college. I 12 an education conference a couple of years ago, and a professor—someone who had been 13 to educational reform—was there to 14 a speech. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, "What are your thoughts on the state of education in the 15?" And this man was 16 .
I'll never forget that moment. It tells a larger 17. Towns like mine are forgotten.
This trend of 18 talent and resources to our big cities― is mindset of leaving small towns and never coming back—I don't want to add to that movement. I want to make the 19of that movement.
Now it's my turn to help people 20 to me. And you know what? I'm a sixth grade teacher in a primary school in Helena now.
