So tomorrow I start work on my Masters degree in education with the New York Teaching Fellowship...Learning how to be a teacher in seven weeks seems like a daunting task, but it's been done, so why can't I do it?
When I walked out of my job for the last time on Thursday, I felt nothing. My nerves were somewhere in the back, ready to ignite and I can say with certainty that they have come to life. But at a that moment, when I walked out of corporate America, I felt empty. But without the knowledge that I had to come back. That was a relief. After the way I was treated there, I am was relieved that those people left and even more relieved to get out. My new boss was upset that I was leaving, but she realized it had nothing to do with her. There is nothing I will miss about being a research analyst. Nothing. The words always stuck in my throat when I was asked what I did. Now I will be able to say with condition: I'm a teacher.
