Most people are aware of the financial challenges of being a teacher, yet a good chunk nonetheless choose to pursue the profession. For former special education teacher and owner of the Hey You! ADHD app Dr. Mindy McNeal, it’s a decision she never regretted, notwithstanding her father’s discouragement.
“I became a teacher for many reasons, but once I actually entered academics, I gave thanks every day that I did not listen to my dad,” Dr. McNeal wrote in an article for HuffPost.

Dr. McNeal finds pure joy in seeing a child’s progress, regardless of how small. She mentioned it as one of the highlights of her career that spanned multiple decades.

Teachers aren’t remembered for the homework they assign or the exams they have their students go through. They are remembered for the positive impact they make on a student’s life, and it is something Dr. McNeal cherishes.
“I am forever thankful that I was afforded the chance to make a difference!” she wrote to conclude her article.
