What they say.

About finding something you love to do and you’ll never work a day in your life.

It’s strange for me to even think of teaching as a “job.” It’s strange to call it “work.”

It feels like neither of these things to me.

What it does feel like it:

Joy. Fun. Excitment.

It feels like I get to be with a bunch of friends everyday. It feels energizing.

I actually don’t look forward to summer break. Not the entirety of it. It’s too long.

I find myself yearning to be back at school, in my safe, happy space.

I’ve never had a single day where I’ve woken up and thought, shit, I have to go to work.

Instead I go to bed anxiously anticipating the start of the next day.

Sometimes things find you when you least expect it. Sometimes what is not a part of The Plan, becomes The Plan.

I never imagined I’d teach or be teaching.

But here I am and it is perfect for me.
