>> My name is Kathy [assumed spelling] Strouss. I am a high school teacher at William Penn High School. I teach Spanish I and II and I love my job. I teach basically all day. There are some days where I get a 90-minute break where I can plan, make copies, that kind of stuff but I do teach the whole day, 7:36 to 2:25, everyday. Well, I usually get to school around six every morning so I just get myself mentally prepared, set up, organized, spend all day teaching, grading, planning. I usually go home and do a little bit more work too but it's all kind of a part of it, part of the job. I knew what I was getting myself into but. Definitely a lot of grading, you know, library teacher. Well, I do-- I usually just go around 4-4:30. I try to get to the gym and then I usually spend another hour maybe at home. In the beginning it was a lot more, it was like two hours. I wasn't-- I wasn't going to gym. I was just working straight through it because I was trying to get ahead about doing everything but now it's just usually an hour, maybe an hour and a half tops which is better, I get to bed early like 9.
