It's the third week of May in New York City. I am at my busiest helping teens and young adults prepare for their crucial standardized tests. I work six days per week and often at extremely odd hours. I like my life in New York. Working as a tutor in a different homes throughout Manhattan rarely gives me the time to socialize with coworkers but I like what I do. I like being an educator and I feel that while I tread carefully and slowly, that I am on right career path. I have attained a degree of financial as well as psychological independence. I have my college degree and my debts reasonably under control. I have an extremely good GRE score (courtesy of my occupation) and I'm ready for graduate school. I hope be ultimately make it to professor and author...but first.
