Losing my marbles

Nov 26, 2006 09:39

I think I am finally losing my marbles. I handed in my notice, which was no problem, but I have been constantly weepy and regretting my decision since I did it. I so love working with the kids and all the staff say how awful it is that I am leaving and how good I am at my job. Yes, I know all that but I knew that there was no way that the school would up my wage. I need extra money but, and it is a big but, I am going to miss the kids soooo much.

Just sitting here writing makes me want to blub again.

Last week I saw two ex-pupils. I spent over 2 hours with one helping him sort out an English essay he was writing and the other one just turned up at school to visit me. He told me that he would not be where he is today without me.

I am seriously wondering if I have made the biggest mistake of my life. I cannot think of any way around the problem. I am looking forward to the new challenge but still want to work with youngsters. Maybe I will have to look at voluntary work or something. Have some ideas in my mind on how I might be able to but am worried that my new work schedule will not allow it.

Anyone have any ideas?
