The last couple of weeks have been a series of ups and downs. I finished student teaching right before the holidays, which was nice but also stressful because I wasn't left with much money to get gifts for freinds and family.

I've always had respect for teachers, and great respect for the good ones. An admirable profession.

Coming from a family of teachers (and mother who has worked as a waitress, secretary, nabisco merchandizer, & real estate broker in addition to teaching 8th grade)... it's never lucrative (well.... except maybe for those first few weeks of summer... hehe).

...but an admiral professional indeed.

Good call. I am taking that your mom was working in at least one if not more than the jobs you listed while she was teaching. Good for her!
