When did you feel like you really hit rock bottom?

Q. When did you feel like you really hit rock bottom?

I felt like I really hit rock bottom during my last year of college. I was struggling with my classes, dealing with personal issues, and facing financial difficulties all at once. It felt like everything was falling apart, and I had a hard time seeing a way out of the situation.

Q. Do you agree with the statement, 'the prestige of teachers has hit rock bottom'?

Yes, I couldn't agree with it more. In Korea, the prestige of teachers has reached its lowest point. It just happened. A few weeks ago, a young teacher at an elementary school took her own life. She had been subjected to severe mistreatment from difficult parents. This incident ignited a substantial issue, leading to extensive discussions within the Korean community. As a result, the right of educators has been further bolstered.
