Hey there. My name is Paul, and I'm a music freak, movie junkie, and nutrition/exercise fanatic. I live in the wonderful city of Chicago and I'm an ESL/Bilingual teacher for Chicago Public Schools.
As much as I do love working with kids, I took a leave of absence last June to focus on music, which is my main passion (you may have heard some of my stuff on TV shows you watch). Many people thought I was crazy for leaving behind a great paycheck and benefits, but I knew I wasn't growing as a person. So, I jumped into a much more adventurous, spontaneous, and unpredictable lifestyle. I don't blame you for thinking what I did is ridiculous and immature. But I'm a firm believer that if you're soul isn't growing, you need to make a huge change in your life.
So, I saved up enough money to survive until April of 2013 and I guess that's why this journey is beginning now. As of this writing, it's March of 2013 and obviously, I need to make money to survive; I could go back to teaching, but I love my freedom way too much. It feels like I've rediscovered an essential piece of myself and there is no way I'm ever letting that go again. When I first left teaching, I decided I was going to find a way to make money from multiple streams of income. If I can just write, record, and perform music while making enough money to survive, without all the stress of a corporate environment, I will find a true sense of peace that I've been searching for.

I enjoyed reading this. I separates you from other web sites to see a genuine biography written out like this.
ReplyDeleteHi Sara, I really appreciate hearing that. This is my first blog ever discussing legit online jobs, and my goal is to also come off as human and accessible as possible. So, it means a lot to hear that.
