Jobs

[Blight]

Being a teacher that actually wants to teach people is one of the best jobs I can think of. I?m sure every one has had the teacher that just didn?t give a damn; teaching was only their paycheck. But you remember those teachers that didn?t make your life hell, the ones that probably taught you more about life than their subject in school, the ones that saw you were a person and not the road block to their money, the ones that really did give a damn. That is the kinda teacher I want to be. High School English. I had so many fucking teachers that wouldn?t have helped me if I was drowning ten feet away it was ridiculous. Know one cared and even worse, to put it in feather weight terms, they made a strong effort to let me know they didn?t like me. Not all my teachers were like that, but too many were. But one teacher, in my senior year, changed my life, and made me decide the direction I wanted to take the rest of my life in. She was an English teacher. I never did that great in English, I was a bad speller, my language consisted of a lot of local dialect, and it was really boring. But then we started writing essays in English 4. And she saw potential in my writing, encouraged me like I never had been by ANY other person, and I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to have the same power she just had on me. I wanted to a person that could affect people?s live in subtle ways I would never know, but would mean the world to them.

If you didn?t read the rest, at least read this. If you can manage to live a life on the money you would make doing what you really want to do then do it or you will feel dissatisfied no matter how your money situation goes. Being dead broke may not be fun, but doing something you don?t like, with constant thoughts of doing something more, will be far worse in the long run. Go be a teacher, go be a social worker, go create the meaning for your life that you seek. If you don?t, you will concede your life to nothingness, and simply start a long unfulfilled wait for the end.
