I have adjuncted and tutored through and after finishing grad school. I have disliked my job since I started because of poor management, capriciously changing rules, and poor working conditions. I had dealt with severe depression and thankfully been able to cut my hours so I have time to recover from the toxicity and define my future steps and goals.

Hi, this blog is intersting, thnx for sharing. im new here. I need some help (opinions or advices). I live in costa rica, 15 years old. Im in high school (two years more for my graduation). Since young ive been going to piano classes till last year i gave up. The reasons why i gave could be: not enough free time (silly), wanting to focus on studies, or no more passion for music. But unfortunately, my grades didnt do well. After quitting ikve being thinking desperately: “What am i gonna do if im not 100 percent good in anything”? “Should i choose music for my future”? This 2 years im planning on keep practicing piano (cuz i havent since i was mad with myself), and focusing on school till i graduate. After that i dont know what to do. I dont have interest in medicine, nor math. So i guess my only choice is music?? or languages since i speak spanish, english and chinese. I really need help >
