I have been struggling with loving my career choice lately. I work excessively long hours and get paid next to nothing. I feel more like a babysitter than a teacher and I feel like my creativity is being stifled. However, in the moments I’m most exhausted a student always reminds me to appreciate the beauty that is present in my current career. A student, who does not have the best home life, gave me this beautiful painting he created. He is only 11 years old and I am so honored to know an artist this talented. He truly made my day!
