Just a thought.
Sometimes I wonder if I would enjoy being a teacher. I could have summers off to pursue other interests like writing, maybe editorials and such, or for travel. I get so excited about nerdy things like history and literature that maybe I could get some kids excited about it too.
It would be nice to teach high school and be like, okay, I know your parents and teachers pressure you to go to Ivy Leagues and to know what you want to do with your life at sixteen but its okay not to, its okay to be a kid. That’s what I wish someone would have told me when I was growing up and stressing out. Build your mind when you’re a teenager, not your future career—that’s what I wish I would have dawned on me at the time while I was so worried about surpassing my peers and moving on to greatness.
