A student comes back years later and tells you that you changed their life. You stand there — exhausted, underpaid, considering quitting — and remember why you started.
What started with the renewed purpose just got more complicated. Now you need to advocate for systemic change within the structures that constrain you — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Navigating the guilt of considering leaving a profession that needs you — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
