#officially left the teaching profession #I’ve been burned out for a long time and now I’m burnt out #like a crisp #I kept trying different grades and different schools and I realized the problem was me #I was done with teaching #And it’s just like. once you’re done you’re done #I’m over halfway done with a masters degree and I’ve already applied elsewhere #Library science babeyyyy #I’ve always wanted to do that and I’ve been looking at it for over a year #knew it was time to leave when I saw my little six year old students and felt…nothing #just a vague sense of irritation #which is HUGE because I used to be so joyous!! in all ways! #and now to feel just a vague irritation and a sense of general masked hopelessness about everything #it’s like my arm has been on fire for a long time and now I finally blinked and put it out #and now my life is finally my own again #plus with the way things are economically and how i couldn’t afford to stay a teacher #and how always it wreaks havoc on my car and finances #it’s an excellent move #I’m actually excited about my life now #because I don’t have to stay in the same place over and over #so I put this up in case anyone else needed to see it #the realization was slow and dawning but then hit by like a lighting strike
