Guess what? I went through this entire year without crying. Haha, does that sound ridiculous? Well, I consider it something like a minor accomplishment, especially in my first year; especially teaching three classes of the lowest eighth grade math students in the school.

More than that, I've actually built something like a business on top of teaching my first year. I shot five weddings this year, two proms, traveled to Austria, New York, art gallery openings, political campaigns, four birthdays, family shoots, model shoots, theater shows, dog sweaters, and more!

What a rush to get paid doing what you love!
