I sat at my computer in the summer of 2013 pondering whether I’d be able to begin my student-teaching.

I wondered whether spending four years learning to teach was worth the time and money, and whether my dreams of leading a classroom would ever come to pass.

I wondered if I should wait to apply for a fast-track program after graduating, or if I should take a year off to work so I could save more money.
