How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Family:
That I was spending too much money when I could easily find a job that would pay what a teacher makes without an education.
How I responded:
Where there may some truth to what they were saying, there is nothing that compares to going to work with a smile on your face. I did not choose education for monetary satisfaction. I chose it because it was a calling. I do not regret my path in any way. Life is too short to let others decide what will make you happy.
