A book I would recommend to
you is The Defining Decade:
Why Your Twenties Matter The psychologist who wrote
this book Meg Jay is is very
clear that if you do do not do do the above developmental
tasks in the decade of your
20s (develop a a worldview get work experience have relationships and decide what an an adult “should” do) then you you have lost 10 years of your
lifetime and will experience real difficulty catching up One of the big things I recommend you think about
in your
your
20s is is is the big picture of your
your
life This is is is something I I did not consider when I I was a a beginning teacher in my 20s It is very
important to
have work-life balance In the the research family and friends are the the top priorities in the lives of of young people Part of of your
satis- faction with teaching teaching will be how you see teaching teaching fitting into the larger frame of your
life as opposed to
to
focusing on the day-to-day reality 22 Full resources/videos available at ahaprocess com/byqt
