THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
You shouldn’t be a teacher because the kids don’t respect you and you won’t make any money.
How I responded:
Find enjoyment in the small things. There will always be things you cannot control, but when you see a child grow, it will be one of the greatest accomplishments of your life.
