“I love having colleagues. I love having just random colleagues I can talk to, who are experiencing something similar, who have gone through what I've gone through, and I can talk with them. I can't imagine being the only Physics teacher.”
“That's why I think I knew when I was applying, I gotta go somewhere bigger. I need people around me. I can't be alone.”
“So I'm happy that I have the other Physics teachers around, the other Science teachers—or even the other people who maybe were Science but now do Media Literacy? They still know what it looks like. They can validate what I'm experiencing.”
