Has being a teacher ever forced you to go against your own personal values or beliefs #Fall25?
I am currently in college to become a highschool chemistry teacher and worry that certain political events will still impact me even in a STEM field that lacks "subjectivity" so to speak, as a queer female teacher.

Greetings Madison:
Thank you for this excellent question!! At the end of the day, everything is based on integrity. Is making money more important than who I am? Absolutely not, I have been fortunate that if I felt a job compromised my integrity, I had no problem quitting. I'm not recommending anyone else to do that. I am a faithful person, and I was always blessed to find a new job right away. I always believed that if you stand on your principles, maintain a positive attitude the Universe will reward you. Because at the end of the day, ypu have to look at yourself in the mirror. Thank you again for this excellent and relevant question!!
