Sometimes when I talk to people about being a mom or a teacher, they’ll reply with, “I don’t think I’m responsible enough to have someone depend on me.”
To be honest, I feel that way, too. I know a lot of teachers who are afraid of steering their students the wrong way, and parents who are worried about whether they’re raising their children well.
None of us magically have all the answers. What matters is that we’re willing to rise to the challenge of bettering ourselves for the people we’ve promised to care for.
