I work as a teacher in one of the smallest schools in the country.
Trabajo como profesora en una de las escuelas más pequeñas del país.

People think that it’s an easy job because we have so few children, but actually it is harder than working in a big school!

I think it is important to do a job that you love and feel is important, especially as you have to wake up every day to do it.

I also think that it is important to change jobs once you feel that you are no longer enjoying your current job.

This is important because it is unfair on your colleagues if you stop caring about your job.

In jobs where you have a responsibility for vulnerable people in society this is particularly important.

My partner works in marketing.

There are lots of benefits to working, not just being paid!

The downside of having a business is that the buck stops with you!

I had my own business once before and I found it very stressful, but that was because  I didn’t really know what I was doing.
Una vez tuve mi propio negocio y me resultó muy estresante, pero era porque no sabía realmente lo que estaba haciendo.

I’m more confident in my own abilities now, and I understand so much more about what it takes.
