But she’s a creative (formerly was pursuing theater and acting) and loves kids. There are absolutely hard days and weeks, but a desk job would be foreign (and boring) to her. Teaching still scratches a little of the performing and creativity itches, although admin can unfortunately snuff some of that out too.
