Well, the end is nigh. I’ve sent in my resignation letter, I’ve informed my colleagues, and I’ve told the kids. I cried, I lost sleep, and I’m terrified to be unemployed during a recession. But it is what it is. One more month of trips, pointless PD, and babysitting, then it’s over.

I lasted two years. I don’t consider myself weak, but teaching chewed me up and spat me out pretty quick. It just felt no matter how hard I tried it would never be enough. Combine that with the fact I never found my “teacher friends”, and I burned out. Now I’m headed onto greener pastures, hopefully. I might look back fondly on this job one day, but that day is not today. Good riddance.
