"To Sir with Love" - LuluAbove all, I hope my future holds contentment. I want to be a teacher, a mother, and I want to be happy. It took me a good amount of time to decide that I wanted to get into education. Being the daughter of an immigrant and the little sister of an ivy leaguer, I wanted to succeed, and badly. I cycled through lawyer, doctor, politician, etc., but I knew in my heart that I wouldn’t be able to do it. The long and grueling hours were something that I knew that wouldn’t fulfill my need for a changing environment and interpersonal relationships. I knew that I wanted to help people, but I couldn’t find where I could do that and still be sane. My love for children and my amazing teachers allowed me to see the light. I decided that regardless of the condescending laughs I get each time I say I want to be a teacher, this is the path that would bring me the most joy and allow me to connect with the world. My biggest obstacle in achieving my goals is stress management. As you can see by my other posts, my mental state takes a large toll on my life. I hope to learn from my mentor and other adults in my life how to prioritize my tasks while taking care of myself. I am very excited going into my internship as my mentor is my old advisor and we already have a strong relationship. Since I already have a relationship, I believe I will be able to learn much more and be trusted with much more during my time with her.
