The author reflects on their journey from dream-filled childhood ambitions to a fulfilling career in teaching, despite the financial challenges it presents. As their children approach college age, they express hope for them to find stable, high-paying jobs. The experience of teaching has been rewarding over two decades, yet the author highlights the financial impracticality of pursuing passion-driven careers today, especially when it comes to supporting a family solely on a teaching salary.
I followed my dreams and became a teacher instead of chasing a high salary.
But dreams don't always come with a livable wage.
Teaching has been, in a word, a dream.
I wanted to pass on my passion for discovering new worlds and words to students.
