Like many of your newsletters, this one resonates a lot. I've also scraped by most of my working life, doing low-paid, emotionally taxing care work. And from what I have heard about teaching secondary school in the US, well, it's tough and underpaid. But we need teachers, and it sounds like you will be an AMAZING teacher. 🍎
I never thought I'd come by the opportunity of a lifetime to actually NOT scrape by, but it happened. I applied for a new role in a new field 2 years ago. Someone took a chance on me and actually trained me in something new. I'm proud of myself for seeing that opportunity.
Thank you for your comment Liz! Warms my heart so so much when my writing resonantes. Thankfully, at the very least, I'm in Canada - so I don't think the pay is *as* terrible as in the U.S. Thank you for the sweet compliment! I'm so so happy for you that you came across an opportunity and went for it, and that it sounds like it made all the difference. Yay!
