Oh crap! What have I done?!? Did I really just send in my letter of resignation before I have another job lined up??? Yes, yes, I did. What the hell am I thinking, you ask. Actually, I ask this as well. Basically I am in a position to where I can do only what's best for me OR I can do what's good for me and best for others. I chose the latter. At least my resignation isn't official until June 3, but come June 3, I will no longer have health insurance. Shit. I HAVE lost my mind!
I know that right now I am physically unable to be a good teacher and the type of teacher I want to be. I'm looking for a part-time or work from home position so I can concentrate on my health and then hopefully start on my master's again. I have had a phone interview and an email about two potential jobs, so I'm keeping faith I'll find something soon. I just hope it's not minimum wage. I am absolutely freaking out here!
My school district is laying off over 200 teachers. But, I have the chance to give one of those 200 people another chance by freeing up a position. I will no longer let another group of students down. My coworkers will have someone they can actually depend on next year. I can't imagine having a job I love and then being told I won't have it anymore. Oh wait... yes I do, except I'm being told that I can't teach at all. I'm no longer capable of working with children full-time. Anyway, my point is that I can't fix my situation right now, but maybe I can help someone else stay in the classroom.
Here's to hoping I find a job, keep my sanity, and don't have to turn in my beautiful truck! Think happy thoughts and pray for me! And if you hear of a job possibility, by all means, let me know!
