In case anyone was wondering what the vibe is at my job, today I had to stop a fistfight between two 7 year olds while attempting to convince another two to stop saying inappropriate things before I run out of chances I'm willing to give them. This is a normal Tuesday. I'm a reading tutor.

#personal #everyone say thank you teachers because I cannot imagine doing this all day #I could not do what they do #and honestly I don't wanna do this anymore either so I'mma probably be quitting after this program is finished #because wanting to do my best for these kids is gonna put me in an early grave and I'm not even close to earning a living wage #I can't solve these kids' problems #what I do isn't enough to fix the damage poverty and trauma has inflicted on their ability to learn #the best I can do is be an adult who shows them empathy and if I'm lucky they learn a couple new words #this isn't sustainable for me financially or psychologically #I'm not built for this #I care too much talk too softly and have a heart condition #also I need a consistant job that pays me enough
