hmmm. that's interesting. i'm definitely too much of a pushover to deal with HS kids (especially since by that point they're probably taller than me ), so i'm looking more into elementary schools. but i'll keep that in mind.

like i said, right now i'm still idealistic and full of energy. it probably makes more sense to throw myself headfirst now into something that i really love. before it ends up becoming something i do to get paid (after all, everything somewhat loses its intrinsic value once you start getting paid for it)

haha... then again... who teaches for the money? it's not like they pay all that much, anyway
