Listen Later

Betsy Torres is a Marine Veteran and and has worked for some various government agencies before she decided to become a teacher. She has been teaching for 5 years. She spent her first 2 years teaching at Gaither High School in Tampa, Florida and the last 3 years   in Alief ISD at Olle Middle School in Houston, Texas. She has taugh FIVE contents and currently teaches 7th grade Texas History. She talks about what it’s like to go from being a marine to a teacher and the types of vulnerability that can happen in both of those spaces. I love that she really speaks truth about the days that are challenging for so many reasons and opens up about how it’s okay to accept the emotions that come along with those days. This episode had some powerful stories that are capable to truly reframing perspective.
