I would1 look to generate in my friends, and across my generation, a commitment to serving. Whether in schools, hospitals, or on wilderness trails, I’d hope 2 to create in each of us a new, expanded sense of citizenship. We’d spend 3 a year of our lives, before jobs, children, and mortgages complicate our options, building an America where serving is not the obligation of a few – or a possibility only to the privileged.
It would be 4 a real choice for everyone. If I were 22 I’d want to give 5 myself an answer to the question: “Where did you serve?”

Teaching English as a foreign language teacher: job description
Teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) involves teaching adults and children whose first or main language is not English. This can be done in the UK or abroad and the students may be learning English for either business or leisure reasons.
Teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) is also a widely used term and often means the same thing as TEFL. It’s sometimes specifically used to refer to teaching English to people who are living in the UK but who do not speak English as a first language. These students are most commonly refugees and immigrants and need to learn the language in order to help them settle into the UK society.Their courses are often government funded.
Teaching English as a second language (TESL) or teaching English as an additional language (TEAL) may also be terms that are used but they generally all refer to the same thing - teaching English to someone whose native language is not English.
Teachers of English as a foreign language can work in a variety of settingswith different age ranges. This can include commercial language schools, schools and institutions of further and higher education throughout the UK and overseas. Some may also teach in industry, while others are self-employed. Classes are usually taught in English, evenwith beginners. Teaching English as a foreign language teacher: job description

This (Illegal) American Life
By Maria E. Andreu
My parents came to New York City to make their fortune when I was a baby. Irresponsible and dreamy and in their early 20s, they didn't think things through when their visa expired; they decided to stay just a bit longer to build up a nest egg.
But our stay got progressively longer, until, when I was 6, my grandfather died in South America. My father decided my mother and I should go to the funeral and, with assurances that he would handle everything, sat me down and told me I'd have a nice visit in his boyhood home in Argentina, then be back in America in a month.
I didn't see him for two years.
We couldn't get a visa to return. My father sent us money from New Jersey, as the months of our absence stretched into years. Finally, he met someone who knew "coyotes" - people who smuggled others into the U.S. via Mexico. He paid them what they asked for, and we flew to Mexico City.
They drove us to the Mexican side of the border, and left us at a beach. Another from their operation picked us up there and drove us across as his family. We passed Disneyland on our way to the airport, where we boarded the plane to finally rejoin my father.
As a child, I had thought coming back home would be the magical end to our troubles, but in many ways it was the beginning. I chafed at the strictures of undocumented life: no social security number meant no public school (instead I attended a Catholic school my parents could scarcely afford); no driver's license, no after-school job. My parents had made their choices, and I had to live with those, seeing off my classmates as they left on a class trip to Canada, or packing to go off to college, where 1 could not go.
The year before I graduated from high school, Congress passed the amnesty law of 1987. A few months after my 18th birthday, I became legal and what had always seemed a blank future of no hope suddenly turned dazzling with possibility.
When I went for my interview at the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the caseworker looked at me quizzically when he heard me talk in unaccented English and joke about current events. Surely this American teenager did not fit in with the crowd of illegals looking to make things right.
At the time, I was flattered. His confusion meant I could pass as an American.

A Potential Solution: Farm Vertically
The concept of indoor farming is not new, since
hothouse production of tomatoes, a wide variety of
herbs, and other produce has been in vogue for some
time. What is new is the urgent need to scale up this
technology to accommodate another 3 billion people.
An entirely new approach to indoor farming must be
invented, employing cutting edge technologies. The
Vertical Farm must be efficient (cheap to construct and
safe to operate). Vertical farms, many stories high, will
be situated in the heart of the world’s urban centers. If
successfully implemented, they offer the promise of
urban renewal, sustainable production of a safe and
varied food supply (year-round crop production), and
the eventual repair of ecosystems that have been
sacrificed for horizontal farming.
It took humans 10,000 years to learn how to grow
most of the crops we now take for granted. Along the
way, we despoiled most of the land we worked, often
turning verdant, natural ecozones into semi-arid deserts.
Within that same time frame, we evolved into an urban
species, in which 60% of the human population now
lives vertically in cities. This means that, for the majority,
we humans are protected against the elements, yet we
subject our food-bearing plants to the rigors of the great
outdoors and can do no more than hope for a good
weather year. However, more often than not now, due to
a rapidly changing climate regime, that is not what
follows. Massive floods, protracted droughts, class 4-5
hurricanes, and severe monsoons take their toll each
year, destroying millions of tons of valuable crops. Don’t
our harvestable plants deserve the same level of comfort
and protection that we now enjoy? The time is at hand
for us to learn how to safely grow our food inside
environmentally controlled multistory buildings within
urban centers. If we do not, then in just another 50
years, the next 3 billion people will surely go hungry,
and the world will become a much more unpleasant
place in which to live.
