Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
Teachers don't get paid any real money
How I responded:
I feel so good when I see a student I have helped/taught come to me with thanks. It is the best feeling in the world. Not only have I helped that student but I have also helped the next generation. I feel like my life has purpose.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
My dad was a shoe shine man. We did not have excessive amounts of money so I went into debt with student loans but that is fine because I get paid enough to pay it back now including my bills and vacation every two years.
