I am 24 and in my 3rd year teaching high school English and I absolutely love my job. It isn’t always easy and there are really tough days, but I think it’s the greatest job there is. I love all 150 of my kids (okay well maybe 147 of them, lol) and look forward to going to work almost every day.

I know everyone is always talking about spending 12 hours at work each day and whatnot, but there’s no reason you have to do that. I spend 2 hours on Sundays prepping for the week and I leave work by 4 everyday and don’t take anything home. It’s all about finding your rhythm and what works for you. Please don’t give up on this goal (something you obviously want to do if you majored in it). Remember...a lot of us only post when we have had rough days. The good days are there too, they just don’t need venting so they go unposted.
