I identified so deeply with the inner rage and frustration I often felt at feeling limited by being a woman. Even moments now in my later 20's sometimes I still feel that way. "How much easier or safer would this be if I was a man?" I then identified again with the discussions of how important it is for teachers to not feel like they're trapped on the "hamster wheel" & instead have that support system within the school systems, within education, to try to cut down on that burnout. It would have been SO helpful as a senior in college but as well in my early years of teaching to have support that was continuous and to have the ability to discuss with others on those heavy days. I love that there is a program in place in some colleges now to do this!
