FIU has a Children's Creative Learning Center on campus where I could volunteer to do some community service or I could do course requirements. I can also apply to be a part time teacher's aide so I can experience what the classroom is going to be like and learn more about my career choice. On their website they provide a schedule of what a regular day might look like and I am very interested in getting involved as soon as i can. It is located on campus which would be very convenient and they work around class schedules so it would be a very good activity to help me learn more about my major/career.
