- Career
I was talking with my mom the other day and came to a realization about myself. I’ve been frustrated with my new teaching “career.” That is truly what it is – a career, a profession; and yet, I don’t want it to be.
Ten years ago I chose Nursing as my career – profession. In so [...]- Zero Tolerance
