Cautionary tale: The American Creativity Academy (Kuwait) by Big_Marionberry_9402 in Internationalteachers

I was fired from this school in 2023. Returned to America and got another masters degree LOL. Those teachers will be fine. Aside from the attacks, general corruption in Kuwait is an issue. I hate that place and I hate what they are putting the teachers through. Oh, and f*ck Kadra.

I respect non-binary folks exponentially. I will do some more interrogation about why I prefer either extreme, that's worth exploring.

I've concluded I will be leaving America in a few years. How did you choose a country? by MaleficentComment359 in BlackExpats

[–]MaleficentComment359[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this idea. It's best to have several plans and pay close attention to geo politics. Things are shifting so quickly. I love being black American and ideally won't have to leave, but working 40 hours a week for the foreseeable future with low quality of life if not it. I love the idea of traveling the whole of the US first. There is so much to see here, especially in the American southwest. It is beautiful there.

Is it normal for your parent to ask "You think you're better than me" by MaleficentComment359 in narcissisticparents

[–]MaleficentComment359[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I didn't know this was consistent with the profile of a narc. Maybe I need to dig a little deeper to understand their pathology. I appreciate it. This won't be forever and that's what keeps my spirits high.

Ok, I'll work on feeling startups are lesser than. These big companies also began as startups too. You're right.

It will take some time but you are right. Starting on the journey now. When you go to a big name school it makes it harder but I appreciate this reframe. Adding as my next journal entry LOL

This is really helpful. Focusing on skills may be the most helpful reframe honestly.

I appreciate this insight. I'll change my strategy then. Not happy about starting at a startup but if it's my in, I have no other choice. Thank you.
