Getting a Master’s Degree in teaching is expensive, but many people who do it, do so for the love of teaching. They do it because they want to help students by motivating them as well as by educating them. Then they worry about paying back their student loans later.

The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship makes those who want to teach dreams come true. You don’t need to be a recent college graduate, but you do need to have an undergraduate degree in one of the STEM fields – Science, Technology, Engineering or Math with at least a 3.0 GPA. If you are approved to the program, you’ll receive $30,000 to complete your master’s degree in one of 14 universities in Indiana, Michigan or Ohio.

Your education will be extremely detailed in transforming students, not just teaching them. You’ll receive high-level mentoring from your professors and teachers in the field. In return, you will agree to teach for 3 years in a high-needs school.

There is an application process and the best of the best are chosen, based on your grades and your attitude toward teaching. You can learn more by visiting www.wwteachingfellowship.org.

The deadline to apply is September 1.

During BlogHer10 I was proud to sport my City Of  Hope button. I gave out buttons to so many bloggers that I lost count. When I did, I was able to tell them why I’m All In for the City of Hope Women’s Cancer’s Movement and am a City of Hope Ambassador.

Women and even the few men I met were willing and eager to support City of Hope as it raises money for research, provides information about breast and gynecological cancers and seeks to raise the number of survivors with these types of cancers. City of Hope also provides state of the art treatment for women’s cancers at their hospital in California.

When I gave out the I’m All In buttons and cards for City of Hope, some people shared their stories of being a survivor, of losing a loved one or knowing someone currently being treated for a type of women’s cancer. It was touching to have people open up to me through the this opportunity of working with City of Hope.

A number of tweets went out to share about City of Hope and I thank those that did that. You can find them by doing a Twitter Search for City of Hope.

I have a few photos of me at BlogHer10 wearing my I’m All In button, but it’s somewhat hard to see (no closeups for me!):

I had the opportunity to interview Robyn Wright from Robyn’s Online World about her mother’s experience with breast cancer and her first mammogram:

Please follow City of Hope on Twitter and on FaceBook to see what how you can help further.

A $30 donation from Mom Central will be made to City of Hope for my blog posts. I’ve asked for the $30 Sephora gift card to be donated as well. If it is not, I will donate it to a local breast cancer support group.

I’m proud to announce that I’m City of Hope BlogHer Ambassador! I’ll be sharing the important information about the City of Hope Women’s Cancer Program at BlogHer. In case you don’t recognize me from my photos or from my BlogHer name tag, I’ll be wearing an “I’m All In” Button. When you see me, please ask for a button so you can let other BlogHer attendees know about City of Hope too.

City of Hope is creating a movement to improve research and treatment of women’s cancers. They also are working to increase the number of women who are diagnosed with breast and gynecological cancers survive. They are asking for all of us to get “All In” to help realize these goals.

Many of my readers know why I’m All In – my mother’s recent diagnosis of breast cancer. I’ve also had an aunt who died from ovarian cancer, an aunt through marriage die from breast cancer as well as friends and coworkers who were diagnosed with breast cancer.

I’ll be writing more about the City of Hope and it’s Women’s Cancers Program during and after BlogHer. You can learn more about it from me at BlogHer when you get an “I’m All In” button. If this isn’t incentive enough, Twitpick a photo of a button and you’ll be entered into a contest to win a $10 Sephora gift card (up to five winners will be chosen).

A $30 donation from Mom Central will be made to City of Hope for my blog posts. I’ve asked for the $30 Sephora gift card to be donated as well. If it is not, I will donate it to a local breast cancer support group.
