“You could become an excellent middle school English teacher... younger students always offer the kind of challenges that keep one’s life fresh and progressive. Teaching is a wonderful way of life, a humble life of service. One never has a doubt whether one’s time is being well spent. Being able to help another person, especially a young person, to take forward steps in life? One cannot ask for a higher purpose than that. It can be exhausting, but it is remarkably satisfying.”
