Follow what you are genuinely passionate about and let that guide you to your destination. – Diane Sawyer

I work in the education field, and as such, I frequently field rather nasty comments about getting into education just for the vacations.  Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the vacations (when i don’t have to work a second job through them), but that’s NOT why I became a teacher.  I LOVE working with kids.  I LOVE learning, and I LOVE sharing what I’ve learned.  That is why I became a teacher.  Sadly, I see many teachers who don’t love kids, and don’t love sharing their knowledge.  They became teachers because of the summer vacation, or because they just didn’t have a clue what to do with their lives.  It shows in their teaching, or lack of teaching.

They didn’t follow their dreams.  They may truly be passionate about the subject they teach, but teaching isn’t their dream, and it shows.  Don’t get stuck somewhere that you really don’t want to be.  Follow your passions, but follow them completely and live the life of your dreams.
