When I was 5, I was pretty sure I'd be a teacher! I loved school and my teachers and always hoped I could be one someday. As I grew older, I realized my love for numbers and finance. However, I do get to teach people about finance related topics on a regular basis so I guess in some ways, I have made it work!
