Yeah, it's great to be idealist and defy the real world ("NO! I will not capitulate! I will live on the streets eating from trash bins and find fulfillment in my freedom!") but in practice it doesn't always pan out.
I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. LOL
I LOVE teaching -- but only those who share my passion. The riders I have who really want to excel, go all the way -- the time I spend with them is pure joy. (I actually wanted to be a gymnast but got too tall, switched to ballet and got burnt out and meandered back to horses. But if I could do it all over again, I think I'd be a gymnastics coach -- it's really my favorite sport.)
I love competition and being part of a team.
But alas the majority of my students -- my bread and butter (the die-hards are all on scholarship *headdesk*) -- don't want to work. And it's like pulling teeth to get them to participate.
