Justice recently took the Community Planning for Resiliency course at Unity College with Professor Tamara Lawless.
"I am currently located in Chicago, Illinois. I am a grad student earning my degree in Environmental Studies and Sustainability. What I truly want to get out of my education is a lifelong community. I want to build something in my generation, so that three generations later my great-great-granddaughter or grandson continue my legacy. I also want to truly become a well-rounded individual; where I learned every aspect of life so that no one could put me down or box me in.
What I liked most about Community Planning for Resiliency is the emphasis on us working with our local communities. This was seen with a field trip we took. It was virtual and my favorite assignment from Unity College. Learning about my local community helped me to unlock trapped methods of thinking inside of me. I was able to learn about the concept of Biophilic Urbanism; which has become a basis for my life and my mission to bring to my local community.
My future goals are to become a full-time, salaried, certified teacher. I want to teach urban agriculture, environmental sciences, and sustainability to our next generation of bright and ambitious thinkers. Outside of the classroom, I would like to host an after-school special; where students get to run track, play tennis, do improvisational theater, learn fashion merchandising, and host their own research series. Furthermore, I seek to get my doctorate in education so as to one day teach at the collegiate level and become a tenured faculty member, who is an ally to my former younger students as they grow and become adults."
