It happens to many of us. We enroll in our dream university. We select our major with the fullest, purest intent of obtaining a career in our studied discipline upon graduation. Our parents are proud, as are our friends. But, when the moment finally comes to execute on this plan and enter the workforce, something's not right. We feel pulled in another direction. For Katie Sullivan, the plan was engineering, but the pull was to teaching. Bravely, Katie didn't resist like many of us would and do. Rather, she answered and followed her calling. After graduating from college, Katie entered the Teach For America program, which led her to Milwaukee and catapulted her into a 6th grade classroom. The journey hasn't always been easy—overcoming doubt, confronting a confused support system, moving across the country, and more—but, as she thinks back on her decision, it came down to one simple truth: in life, we regret the things we didn't do more than the things we did. She had to pursue this. She had to make her own way.
