Create Your Own Adventure-Maya Creamer

      1. If you were given $1 million with no restrictions as to how to spend it, what would you spend it on, and why? Would you donate a portion to charity, put some/all into savings, invest it, spend it on yourself or your family, etc.?
      2. How do you want other people to remember you after you die?
      3. Suppose you could make a living doing anything in the world-what would you spend your life doing, and why?

I will answer the third prompt.
      If I could make a living doing anything in the world, I think I would choose to travel to different Spanish-speaking countries and teach English to the kids there. This would combine a lot of the things I'm passionate about/interested in-teaching, the Spanish language, traveling, and helping young kids. I think it would be extremely rewarding to work with kids, because they are so curious and eager to learn. Seeing the confidence and pride in themselves that they gain from learning something new would make me feel like I have really made a difference in their lives.
      Traveling to different Spanish-speaking countries would also allow me to have new experiences that I wouldn't be able to have in the United States. The cultures of many of these countries are radically different from our culture here in the U.S., so I think it would be really interesting to experience how they live. In the time when I'm not teaching the kids, I could explore the different countries, and meet many new people who have had very different life experiences from me. I really like learning people's stories, so I think it would be really cool to just talk to people, and ask them about their lives. I would also get a lot of practice speaking Spanish, so I would be able to increase my fluency in the language.
      Overall, I think teaching English to kids in Spanish-speaking countries would be a great experience, and a cool way to make a living.
