Satisfaction Guaranteed

This week I did a lot of back-2-school and getting 2 know you worksheets with my class. There's a girl who is very quiet and shy but whenever school is over she always gives me a hug goodbye.

I'm lookin over the worksheets they did and I get to hers. By the question, "Who do you admire?" She wrote "Ms.Jodi." Naturally my emotional self started crying as I looked at her paper.

While in college I started off as a pre-med student but quickly realized it wasn't for me. When I started subbing I still had the goal of becoming a doctor and working in the health field. Then I fell in love with teaching and realized it would better suit my personality. My parents weren't too happy with the idea. They rambled on and on about job security and pay scales. I felt like I let them down but I saw that it was MY life, MY choice.

I now know that salary isn't everything. Its job satisfaction. Yup, that's what its all about.
