Education In Action in giving students the tools they need to make the world a better place.

I began working as a field trip facilitator for Education in Action's Discover Texas Field Trips . I could not believe it, as this was a dream come true. It's not everyday that a person learns that you can be employed to go on fourth grade field trips!

Since then I have learned how this company is so much more than a day of fun and educational learning activities for young children. This company is providing potentially eye opening experiences to many children who would maybe never get the opportunity to travel outside of their city limits.

A simple trip to the state capitol could spark the candle of potential in a future supreme court judge. These experiences that we have in childhood often shape who we will be for the rest of our lives. I have had multiple children tell me that a field that I had the opportunity to be apart of was "The best day of their lives!" I am blessed to be apart of this moment with them.

Education In Action is the reason this moment exists.

My love and passion began to grow as I was asked to be one of the assistant directors for the Lone Star Leadership Academy, sponsored by Education in Action, where students come from ALL over Texas to learn about leadership. Every lesson and activity is built to positively influence the children. Again, I felt honored to be apart of the team that is fostering leadership and success into the lives of future adults.

At LSLA, all of the students have to be nominated for camp by their teachers and administrators. I witnessed many very shy children come out of their shell and open up to the world. They gained inspiration from new friends, new experiences and tons of information and memories that they can take back to families and friends. They learned the skills that everyone needs to be successful in life such as proper teamwork, communication skills, and putting a plan into action. These are skills that we all need to be productive members of society.

Now I work in the office and as a teaching assistant at Education in Actions's North Texas Leadership Academy. I am blown away by the educational opportunities that are present all around me. The teachers nurture the intellectual curiosity of the children. They learn about multiple cultures and are tolerant of each other.

Any student that is fortunate enough to attend this school is going to prepared for life. Education In Action is the provider. The staff believes in providing experiential learning opportunities to children to help them become natural leaders and allow powerful movements of goodness to be pushed into the world. Whether it be for a day, a week, or an entire school year, Education In Action inspires.
