My dream of Motherhood shone the brightest and I could think of nothing more enriching, rewarding and worth my energy then taking everything I knew and a whole lot that I didn't and put it into raising inedible men. There is no amount of money that could take me away from this amazing opportunity. <br />Like your mom I was once asked if I worried if I was "wasting my education". the question not only reflects the sad state of our cultural priorities but also the ignorance of many who don't know what it takes to raise children with everything you have. <br />My children ARE my education.jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510047265011055270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465867677762395374.post-56076888075872791932011-10-24T04:30:45.628-04:002011-10-24T04:30:45.628-04:00Ouch, that opening quote stings.

I gave up teaching, (which was the main love of my life for 10 years) after my daughter was born in 2009. I know first hand that little ones are not little for long, I wanted to give 100% to her for as long as possible. And knew that I couldn't give 100% to teaching as well. Very few understand that personal choice and even fewer respect it. Welcome to the I Can Be Campaign, I'm doing a post too.<br /><br />Good to meet you,<br />AmyMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17309523338100165296noreply@blogger.com
