“Hey, how did you get into the teaching line?” That is definitely one question I have yet to find an answer I’m happy with to give out to people. A precise and concise answer that does not make me sound pretentious and self-important. I have five more days to think about that while waiting for the first school meeting next Monday/ Tuesday. Or can I just tell them that I had the world at the palm of my hand and that terrified me to the point I questioned my existence and purpose of living? That for two months, I contemplated life and its value. For two months, I stared at the ceiling in the dark thinking “Now what?”. For two months, I came into my finally purple-painted bedroom after work wondering if I was heading into the right direction with my instinct incessantly screaming no. Would it be too soap opera if I told them from the moment I applied for the teaching position, all my uncertainties fade away? Because it’s true. Because I know why. As simple as that. -- source link
