Feature story progress

My progress with this story and the interview picked up a lot last week. I was able to get in touch with Omari and we had a great discussion. He really loves Teach for America. He seemed excited to share his experiences with me.

This is the rough, rough, rough draft of my feature lede:

Teach for America is a corps program for college graduates that changes the lives of children all around the country.

I want to really focus on the fact that this job may pay back your loans, but it's so much more than that. By becoming a teacher for these less fortunate kids, these graduates are changing their lives and giving them an education they may not have gotten the chance to have.
