Welcome to Hive ma'am! You do not have to worry about being an introvert here because this is really a safe space to freely share more stories about life and experiences at your own pace. People in this community are also friendly and supportive.

By the way, I am also a teacher but I'm still quite new to the profession with just 6 years teaching experience. Hearing you've been in the field for 17 years is truly inspiring. I honestly find this job draining at times hehe but also deeply fulfilling. I just hope that one day I'll be able to endure more years in the service like you. God bless ma'am.
