Poem

I left the corporate world with the hopes of giving back
Returning to school to earn my teaching degree was my plan of attack

Such a diverse group of fellow students I encountered in grad school
We all had hopes of someday making it into the teaching pool

Student teaching helped to solidify it for me
How truly rewarding a profession could be

Exhausting and emotionally draining work, for sure
But, making a positive impact in even one life, was the allure

With certificate in hand, I began to look for a teaching position
Eager for my dream career to come to fruition

Three failed interviews later, led me to substitute teaching
Two and a half years without a steady paycheck left me reaching

Financially, I was drowning, having already cashed in my IRA
I didn’t have a relationship with God, but still I began to pray

I left it in his hands to lead me
Through my faith, stronger than ever would I be

Finally a steady paycheck came my way
Still it wasn’t enough to stave off bankruptcy day

But wait, God wasn’t done
He would ensure that I could take care of my loved ones

Full circle, back to the corporate world I once knew
God would not leave me alone to stew

His guidance was golden
To him, I will always be beholden

For now, I am looking forward to my first paycheck
To help me climb out of this mountain of debt

Supporting my family is my primary goal
With God’s help I will dig my way out of this hole
