Time To Shine

"I would say I felt best when I became a teacher. I started teaching 10 years ago, so I was around 31. Before I went to get my Bachelor's Degree, I was a masseuse. I got tired of the job and when I tried to get into teaching no one would hire me, because I didn't have a degree. So, when my kids started going to school, I decided to go back to college. It felt amazing walking across the stage the day I graduated. I felt so accomplished, because all of that hard work finally paid off. I'm very happy with my decision and I think it's my true calling. I am even going back to school to get my Master's Degree."
