Maybe you were one of the lucky ones, who had an inspirational educator you admired and seek to mimic because of the beautiful imprint that educator left on you. That imprint lead you to believe—this person must love their job, "Look at how much they love teaching me." Although many teachers love the craft of teaching, the level of stamina involved to reach the pinnacle goal of becoming an official "Teacher of Record" (Legitimate teacher in the classroom) can feel like your climbing an elongated ladder where each step gradually gets longer than the last. Now this ladder does have golden milestones of achievement, but nonetheless each one of them is well earned with sacrifice—money, time, and strong support.

I Teach (Or Try To)
For the last 34 years, I've attempted to teach English to students who, for the most part, do not want to learn English. Have you ever tried to teach a puppy to sit? The puppy has no desire to sit.

How To: Get Rid of Student Loans Fast
When I first learned about this method, I did not believe it. I have read so many articles about decreasing student loans that all basically listed the same ideas.
