   Growing up, my father always told us "Find something nobody wants to do and do it well." That, he said, was the secret to success. It wasn't always being the best at the best things. It wasn't always out competing with everyone. It was to find the one thing, overlooked by most, that you can succeed in and stand out.    30 odd years later, I'm a mother. And an infant teacher. (Is that a thing??? The answer is a resounding YES!). I also go to school in order to be better at both things.    I found the thing no one wants to do... not necessarily the mom thing, loads of people want to be mothers... but the infant teacher thing. No one in their right mind will look at you and say "You know, taking care of and teaching 8 babies sounds like a good job!" The hours are long, full of crying babies and diapers. The pay is minimal and you usually spend your paycheck on your classroom in one way or another. (Once Upon a Child employees know me by name by now.) T
