Since I changed careers and got into teaching, I am a little older than first year teachers that go straight into teaching out of college, but I still feel like one of the younger teachers. I don't have any children like the teachers my age, so therefore I connect with both the younger and older teachers on some things but not all. The teachers that I connect with the most are the Career and Technology teachers because they too have transitioned from other careers. I feel I have been blessed with the "real world" experience to guide my students and the time to be able to devote to the preparation an mastery of my new career.
