Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Choosing between being clever or being good-looking: 18 of 65

I remember the day I decided to be a teacher.I had been studying languages for my interpreter certificate without thinking of my teaching somebody.Besides, both parents are teachers,I didn't want to be like them-always tired from their work with the only desire-to get asleep earlier and wake up later the next day.It happened ...
