Y’all. Teaching is tough. Especially your first year. You are not alone in your feeling for sure. Don’t judge the career on your first year. If you LOVE having a positive impact on kids lives and you can always remember that is what you got in this for you can focus on continuing to seek growth to work towards becoming the most effective teacher possible. No one has it down year one!!!

My friend and I (both Asian and gay) were seating at the cafe on the 2nd floor of Saks Fifth Ave today waiting for our table for the restaurant on the 9th floor. A lady came and asked where are we from, and “why are you two men in this mall? This is for female only”. I said this mall sells products for all genders. She said she has walked all floors and never saw a thing for men. Then she threw curse at me. I stood up and asked her to repeat what she said. She pulled her phone and called 911
