Quotes by Sue Cowley (?)

“The thing to hold onto, though, during the tough first year, is that you can make a real and genuine difference to your children’s lives. And at some point in the future they may look back and remember you as someone who really mattered to them. What other career could offer such a wonderful reward?”
― Sue Cowley, How to Survive Your First Year in Teaching: Sue Cowley's bestselling guide for new teachers
