There is an infinite amount of jobs in the world for everyone to choose from. Figuring out your disposition and the type of career you want is one of the most difficult decisions you will ever make. As for me, I’ve always found it extremely vital to find a career that holds a lot of meaning. It’s undeniably important to have a job to support myself, but I also think it is crucial to find happiness in a career as well. From the time I was young, I knew someday I would become a teacher.

All I can really ask for is for students, teaching, and
