If you're just starting out in or thinking about entering the world of education, just know that although it's a very rewarding and enjoyable ( most days, in my opinion) career, it's not always easy. You will have days when you want to pull out your hair and days when you have more questions than answers. But the thing you need to remember is that you can do this. You're not alone. Ask others for help. Be confident. Yes, some lessons will absolutely suck, but there's always tomorrow. When you make a mistake-- notice I said 'when' and not 'if'-- figure out what you need to learn from it and try it again tomorrow. The kiddos in your class need you!
