The Perfect Applicant

When a person graduates from college there is no way to tell if they are going to be a teacher for life, a Mississippian for life, in two years I am entering law school type, or a person who will quit whatever they do after their first year in the real world. With this said the perfect applicant would be one who loves children, has the ability to adapt quickly to new situations, thinks outside of the box, sees the glass half full, must have a positive demeanor, and most importantly know how to laugh. I believe that an applicant to MTC should come from a prestigious college that has a tradition of academic excellence, a diverse background, a history of service work, and experience in extracurricular activities such as sports, choir, boy scouts, girl scouts, etc…Furthermore the perfect applicant must be one who realizes that they will never save the south or all the children that they teach.
