Quote by Jill Telford

“When you don’t forget you were once a scrappy kid from Scranton and you hustle until your family is set when you’re gone. HUSTLE, like no one is awake. Day or night. Sunrise—sunset. Hustle quietly, when the lights are on and when the lights are off.”

“As a professional, the teacher is "objective" when presenting the school curriculum: she doesn't "take sides," or "get political." However, the ideology of the status quo is built into the curriculum. The professional's objectivity, then, boils down to not challenging this built-in ideology.”

“I have a handful of keywords that I try to live by. One of them is: Joy. Everyone needs more joy in their lives. Maybe that means changing job to one you truly like. Maybe that means moving to another country to start a new adventure. Maybe it means forging ties with people who make you truly happy. Maybe it means creating joy in others. For me, one of the many things that brings me joy is writing. I am blessed, and very thankful, that I get to do this for a living.”
