My mom used to tell me that I was the light in people's eyes, and that I could fill a room with smiles... be a peacemaker. I could make anyone feel better no matter how sad they were. I had a reputation for always being happy. I always wanted a career I could use those skills in. I loved that those were my associated talents and I wanted to use them always. I could get people to open up to me, and it seemed like I always had sage advice to give. But slowly as I got older it felt like people were getting more sad, and their problems were getting bigger than I could solve with any amount of sage advice. I'm not sure anymore if I have those talents I was always acclaimed with, or if there's a career that is just right for me and those skills.
Maybe that's the real reason I have wanted to go into teaching. Smaller people, smaller faces to make smile.
