A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor (The Carls, #2)

by Hank Green

The truest strength is shouldering the burden of care.”

A schoolteacher gains meaning from: 1. Seeing the impact they have on their students. 2. Being part of the story of teaching. 3. Helping their students. 4. Being a better teacher this year than they were last year. 5. Being appreciated for their work (god willing). And I find that it is much easier to believe in your intrinsic value if you are getting all these other signals that you have value.
