An Eye-opening But Disheartening Story I Found

Try as people might, the professions we choose may not always be a path of joy and fulfillment, and can in reality be full of disappointment and disillusionment.  Life is bittersweet, and not all can push through its barriers.  Try not to be too discouraged though!

I searched my own blog and found this!

If anyone is interested in reading another blog with a similar name to mine, consider reading "Diary of an American Teacher".  It is very much like listening to my friends who are teachers talking over lunch about their experiences this year at their school.  I do not know the author of this blog, and am not advocating for his/her perspectives, but I do find it interesting and fun to read, at the very least.
