I just graduated from college last year and took on a job as a preschool teacher...i thought it would only be a transistion job while a better paying job would fall into place for me. Well eight months later I am still with my same kids, sharing laughs and memories and boo boos and owies. I had completely fallen in love with them and had given up many job offers to stay with them. However, I got offered another ob working with preschoolers but with better hours and more incentives - i knew my kids were moving up soon so it would be a perfect switch. However, i cant stop crying. I think about my 2-3 year olds crying when I told them I wouldnt be back anymore except to visit. I really honestly have been crying non-stop and cant seem to get ahold of myself. Maybe its because Im not a mom or Im super sensitive to begin with - but if anyone has any advice to give it would really help. I just keep picturing the tears in their eyes and holding on for dear life as I walk out the door. Many of my parents were upset as well to hear I was leaving - but I assure them I will be back to visit. I just cant sleep and cant stop weeping.
Need help.
