I Quit Academia

Ever since I can remember, I have been obsessed with learning. My parents instilled a love of reading in me, allowed me to read what I wanted, and that was all it took. Because of my bookworm nature, teaching seemed like a natural career path for me. There is nothing like the warm fuzzy feeling of seeing that spark of understanding in a student's eyes when they get that concept they were struggling with.
