Teach for America has offered me a position on their Recruitment Team for the coming year...and I just don't know what to do. 80% of the Recruitment Team is in New York City and the other 20% is between Atlanta and Chicago. Obviously, I would want the Chicago position because it is still in the mid-west, it is close to where the Reddigs will be, and cheap flights between here and there!!
But there's no guarantee that I would get Chicago if I were to accept. I can accept on the condition that I get Chicago...but then if I didn't I'm out a job.
I'm trying to think up the pros and cons of this position:
Pros:
Chance to be apart of something way bigger than myself
Chance to move away and see if I can make it on my own
Job security for 12 months
All insurance taken care of
Chicago? How cool would that be
Cons:
Leaving the only place I've ever known
Leaving my parents
Leaving my friends
Living alone
I'm sure there are others...but that's what is going through my head right now. I just finally got to a point where I'm comfortable and happy...but if I don't take this "chance" what else is there. I'm looking for a sign from God...I need something from HIM to let me know this is where I should be going.
I have to make a decision by next Friday, the 19th...should be fun finals week!

I just can't believe they offer you a job but don't tell you where you'll be. That's a load of crap. Mitzi's worth more than that. If you accept only based on Chicago, and they don't give you the job, I'm sure something will turn up in KC or Lawrence.
Viva Mitzi!
