I am married. I have 3 kids. I am studying to be a teacher. I illustrate childrens books.
I am 27 years old. I love reading. I work at a small niche company that makes and sells massage chairs.
Are you reading a good book? Any recommendations? I am rereading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It is one of my favorites, have you read it? No, I haven't what's it about? The book tells the story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. His quest leads him to riches far different than he ever imagined. There are a lot of lessons in the book that relate to the world today. Sounds good, I'll put it on my list, but honestly, between the kids, the job, and studying, I don't have much reading time. How's your work going? Still making massage chairs? Yes, I am still making and selling massage chairs. We have been a bit busier lately but I am starting to become bored by my job.  How is studying going? It's pretty easy, if it was just reading and tests it wouldn't be that much work. They add a lot of make-work (projects and class bulleting boards) though That does sound like a lot, how much longer until you are a teacher? another semester of classes then a half year of pracitcum and I'm done So you are almost there! It will be so worth it when you are done. Do you plan to teach where your kids go to school? No, I will be teaching high school. Are you thinking about changing jobs? I would like to but I am unsure what else I might be good at. For my next job, I am going to focus more on job satisfaction as opposed to salary.
