Hey Ellie, I don't have any real advice for you, but I wanted you to know that you're not alone! I think everyone has times in their life where everything seems like it's falling apart. The beauty of those times though, is that when you come back out of them you've learned something amazing; about yourself and about life. I don't think we could grow much from life if were a cake walk, right?
Every time I am feeling like life is "ganging up" on me, I say thank you, because I know that in the end I am going to come out of it stronger, wiser and happier! Best of luck with your job, and I agree with others that teaching can be a very rewarding career and that students fail to show up for many reasons no matter what kind of teacher they have. Still, if you are feeling a sense of relief about the upcoming free weekend, then you have at least temporarily made a good decision for yourself. Maybe you just need time to regroup and recenter and can eventually look at it again as a possibility. Best of luck, Ellie. |
