My friend decided earlier in the summer that she wanted to combine her passions of teaching, music, and developing activities to kids into her career. What does that equal... a high school music teacher. She went back to school and plowed through a mountain of course work for towards her second masters ( all post secondary school was done on her own and as a non traditional student.. I might add). She earned a 4.0 average and "scored" a part time position at the local high school as a music teacher. She will finish up the requirements this Fall and get her accreditation. Meanwhile, the students will have a teacher that wants to be there.
I give her a lot of credit for chasing and grabbing her dream. That is life lived like it is your last day.
