Hello. I was a teacher for ESL for 13 years. I loved my job, but just didn’t have the energy towards the end to keep faking it. As a teacher, you’re always in the spotlight and have to smile no matter what’s happening in your life. I’m so thankful I’d already quit teaching when I was diagnosed. Would not have been able to easily fake that happiness, and don’t believe I should’ve had to. It literally zaps all your energy and leaves you empty. I’m happy to do a bit of tutoring now, but wouldn’t go back to full time, or even part time teaching under any circumstances. I’m looking for a career change from hopefully next year, as I’m still under a medial certificate currently.
Good luck, I hope you find the right workplace 🤞🍀💜.
