“I found myself having daily thoughts of “what did I do today that mattered?” During that time I was having conversations with a friend, Adina, who taught at a low-performing, urban school. I loved hearing her stories about her students and helping her plan lessons. I found that her students’ successes, and her joys as a teacher, were much more significant than my experiences making wealthy individuals wealthier. So, I decided to get my soul back.  Leaving the financial stability and “known” of the corporate world was terrifying. But I knew from the first, oh-so-intimidating day of teaching that I had made the right decision.”
