What Teaching as a True Calling Looks Like
How misfortune can be a blessing in disguise.
Teaching is one of those career fields where false advertisement comes to mind, you know, pretty much like being an ‘influencer’ in this day and age of social media.
If you don’t approach it the right way, you will burn out quicker than you realize.
Society gives the impression that anyone can be a teacher.
You read comments on X or other social platforms of people disgusted at teachers who ‘complain.’
Teaching is easy!
It’s just glorified babysitting!
Shut up, at least you get your summers off!
Well, let me tell you something honey, if you don’t look at teaching the right way, it will be done with you!
See, I never thought of myself as a teacher.
My Back Story
The field of engineering in the late 90s was lucrative for females. Universities and industry in general paid good money to help support females interested in engineering.
I poured four years of blood, sweat, and tears into earning an engineering degree.
