learning to live life fully

I am a soon-to-be elementary teacher, and I'm discovering it's getting increasingly more difficult to meet people with similar values to my own. I graduated from Hastings College, went to Chicago to student teach, and now I'm back in Hastings to finish student teaching. Once I'm done, I ultimately want to go back to Chicago - I feel it's where I belong. I feel called to help students in inner-city schools advocate for themselves and their education.
I'm a very motivated woman, and I know what I want to do with my life, just not who I want to go on that journey with.

Goal in lifeto be an advocate and teacher for elementary students in an underprivileged inner-city school. If I can significantly impact one child's life, I will see my career as a success.

Must haveIntelligence, Good Looks, Humor, Empathy, Thoughtfulness
Look for in a partnerIt's easy to fall into a routine when in a long-term relationship, so being willing to switch up the routine and try something new - like a new restaurant, new activities, etc. - is a big plus. I'm looking for someone who has their own dreams, but will support me in mine as well, and I will support you. Someone who is understanding of pasts (not just relationship-wise) is very beneficial for a relationship. Essentially, just someone I can be my goof-ball self with, who will love and accept me at my best and at my worst.
On the first dateSomething fun. I've had enough of these "nice dinner" shindigs, or the "go grab a drink at a crowded bar" cliches. I want to get to know you. I want to see what you're all about. As for ideas, I've always wanted to roller skating for a date. Granted, I can't really roller skate, but that's half the fun, right? :)
