Thank you all so much for your honesty and transparency. As a first year teacher, I feel overwhelmed, discouraged, and alone many days of the week. When I meet with other first year teachers they all seem to have it all together and don't blink an eye at working 10-12 hour days. I have always wanted to do this job, but I want my energy, my hobbies, my relationships....my LIFE back! There are so many students I thought I could reach and now realize that I can't. I have wanted to hear so badly from someone else I am not completely crazy and selfish for having these feelings. Thank you.
