Found this in a TB Hostel in Jackson, Wyoming.
As far as what would I do with $100,000. Well, there is a lot of personal things that I could do with it, such as pay off my house mortgage and car loan, and use the rest for something fun, like a trip, kayak, etc. But, honestly I am a teacher and have participated in a program the past five years with the National Park Service where I work as an interpretive park ranger during the summer, then integrate my experience and knowledge gained at the national park that I was at into my curriculum. I have always wanted to bring my students out to the national park that I have been a park ranger at, and this summer I am at Grand Teton National Park. I honestly would love the opportunity for my current and former students to have the opportunity to come out to Grand Teton National Park and experience this place first hand. Since Yellowstone is so close, it would be great to have them go there as well. I have animatedly been trying to find funding for this to happen, but teaching in a small town in Michigan doesn't a[[eal to the deep pockets like big city names like Chicago, New York City, Washington D.C., and the like. Schools from these cities have received various funding through deep pockets, I hope that I can find funding for the lesser known school where I work so that my students can experience some of our amazing national parks.
