On this day I informed sensei that I would not be able to continue teaching after this next years teaching. Not in any significant way anyhow. I have decided, over several months, that I cannot continue on as things are. Eventually I will need to either have the time free for other persuits or get a different job that pays hopefully a professional wage. I dont know what will happen but in 365 days or so I will be doing something else. Mabey building a house. Mabey working someplace else. Mabey preparing to have a child. Hopefully I will be doing something that I feel is an investment in my future. As it is I feel extremely sad that I will be leaving behind what I am doing. I know It will be a blow to some of the students and parents who I have developed good relationships with. It is tough, but I feel like I need to do what is good for me to do, not just what is good for others.
So. overall its a good thing.
