Teaching was my childhood dream. I had a fire in my heart to become the educator who made learning fun, ensured students felt loved, and made a lasting impact on the kids, the school, and the system.
People always told me that teaching was going to be difficult, but I had no idea it would completely strip me of my own identity. I had no time for my family. I didn’t make an effort to see my friends. I gave up my hobbies and stopped taking care of my body. If I wasn’t teaching, I was lesson planning, prepping, grading, or simply resting to have some fuel for the upcoming week.
When I decided to look into other avenues as I entered my sixth year in education, I found myself having a hard time connecting with any career outside of teaching. Real Estate was too competitive, corporate sounded too bland, and Lord knows I wasn’t about to become an administrator.
That’s when I came across Virtual Assistance. A career that allowed me the freedom to live my life fully and happily. It was the best decision I ever made, and now I’m honored to help other burnt-out teachers do the same thing.
