While I do love the game, it is not the purpose of my first blog post. Some of you know that I was offered a job with Macy's in their Executive Development Program in New York City. I wanted to write a bit about why I decided to turn down the Big Apple (my dream city) to be a Corps member of TFA.
While I spent the week debating every detail and looking at the logistics, I decided to go with my heart and intuition...TFA. I feel incredibly humbled to have been chosen to make a difference in the lives of these children and bridge the achievement gap. I am confident that this will be an experience that I will relish for the remainder of my life and will be a passion that might guide me to my future career.
I'd be delighted if you would follow me along my journey.
Successful people realize that life ins't all about them, their selfish wants nor desires. Successful people have come to understand that the greatest moments in a person's life are those where they are giving unselfishly, out of love - with no expectation of a return. You represent the UofA as a graduate in a very successful and unselfish manner. Thank you for sharing.

Congrats Mary! I, too, am a UofA Entrepreneurship major, past President of the Eller College Student Council, and a TFA alum. I now lead new school development efforts at the Arizona Charter Schools Association in Phoenix. Feel free to reach out to me anytime.
