Sigh

I'm sitting in an empty classroom. It was the last session of my evening class and my students' final exams are in a stack in front of me.

Also in front of me is a Christmas card from a sweet student. Inside she said I was a good teacher, a helpful teacher. She thanked me.

And maybe she does this for every teacher. Maybe she's just a nice kid. But it's making me weep. I have three days left of teaching and I'm weeping about it.

I want to leave the school with all my heart. It's the right thing to do. It's a toxic, insane department.

But I'll miss my students. I'll miss teaching. I'll miss.

I'm sorry. I understand how hard it can be to leave a job even when you know it's right. I still miss my previous job when I think about the kids and family I worked with even though I hated the politics of working for the state I did love my clients. Dang, why does life have to be hard?

I'm sorry too. I can't imagine a girl giving you a card like that unless she really meant it.
