What motivates you to succeed?

Let's be honest. Money motivates most people. When I studied for many, many years in college (I was in the 8 year program), I knew that I would be able to find a job that would provide financial security. Once I graduated college and was ready to find a job, I felt like I didn't want to leave school. I also didn't want to work some boring desk job, either. So, I figured, I'll give teaching a shot. I may have been slightly motivated by the idea of having summers off.... And now I realized this job was my destiny!

I still find myself motivated by money- I am pursuing my Master's degree because I would like a pay increase, but I also love to improve myself. Even though taking classes in the evening is stressful, I want to learn to be a better teacher.

Cats vs. Dogs

If there is one thing you must know about me, it is that I am an animal lover. I grew up with many pets and couldn't wait to have my own place so that I could have a dog. Well, that turned into three dogs and two cats and now we are one big happy family- me, my boyfriend, my three pit bull mixes, and my two cats. If I simply must choose- I am a dog person. I just love taking my dogs places, although one misbehaves so much that I can't take him out without causing a scene. That's alright- there is always one crazy member in a family, right?
