Reflecting on a Decade Away from Teaching: A Personal Journey

Reflecting on a Decade Away from Teaching: A Personal Journey

In 2012, I made the difficult decision to leave my teaching career behind, believing that a path in journalism would offer greater financial stability. I assured my boss that if I didn't succeed in this new venture, I would return to the classroom. Fast forward ten years, and I find myself grappling with the same question: was leaving the right choice?

Initially, the excitement of pursuing a passion for storytelling and reporting overshadowed my concerns about financial security. However, as the years passed, the reality of the journalism industry set in. The unpredictability of freelance work, coupled with the challenges of securing stable employment, has led to ongoing financial struggles.

While I have gained invaluable experiences and skills in journalism, the stability I sought remains elusive. Now, as I reflect on my journey, I can't help but wonder if I made a mistake by stepping away from a profession that, despite its challenges, provided a reliable income. The decision weighs heavily on my mind as I navigate the complexities of my career.
