Why I Love My Job
Ross is a public school teacher. She teaches a group of, mostly, seniors and she loves what she does.
"My job is great,"she said."That is the only way to describe it.As teachers, we have the opportunity to completely change someone's life by providing him or her with a good education."
Ross moved to Austin in 1981 to attend the University of Texas. She earned a degree in math. Since her graduation, she has enjoyed teaching high school students in Texas for nearly 30 years. Over the years, she has taught every level of high school math.
"I've always taught high school students," she said. "I like their energy, and I enjoy teaching seniors because they are getting ready to move on."
Ross also believes teaching helps her keep a balance between work and life. It has allowed her to have the same work schedule as her children's school schedule. When her sons were younger, she worked during the day while her musician husband worked at night. So daycare was never a problem. Today her two boys share the same daily schedule and the same winter, spring and summer vacations with her.
Teaching brings other benefits, too. Entry-level salaries of teachers are competitive with other fields. Teachers are also offered good retirement benefits and insurance.“Due to bad economy, very few places offer a pension now and teaching is one of them," she said.
Ross believes that good education can change a person's life.
