There is always a missing part in a story, i have written about how i quitted my job as a teacher and also stated that the reason was because of the meagre salary which could not sustain my future but there was something else that gives me joy and made me not want to stop..
The happiness on the kids face and most especially my best friend made me persist for too long cos she was my colleague, we were both teaching in the same school and we are most time together during our free time in the school and we also go home together....
I did not care much about the money, i love my work and the people i work with just made it more beautiful, the only problem was that my bestfriend is very stubborn and she is always at loggerhead with the proprietress of the school...
If your boss likes you, then you should know you are really working diligently for him/her, so yea my boss likes me and i am not surprised.... I am a workaholic and i don't complain.... While other teachers were taking one class, i was taking 2 classes and i was also the computer teacher of all the pupils, you can imagine the work load that was on me alone....
I was the one that introduced my best friend to the school so anytime she offends my boss, she always report her to me and i do apologize on her behalf, but then same thing keeps happening and most time it is trivial things that caused the fight.....
I guess they just don't like each other, but i think what often cause the fight was because my bestfriend was not ready to sacrifice her time or do more than she was paid for, which didn't go well with the boss and she decided to fire her....
I pleaded with her not to fire her but she did! ofcourse i won't blame the boss for doing what is right for her school but unfortunately she won't be losing just one person but two....
I felt empty the first day at school without my best friend, every place in the school reminds me of her, i was heart broken and missed her...
This made me lose interest in the work, whenever i walk past the spot we have been together, it only makes things worse and most of the spot in the school reminds me of her, i lost my high spirit and the only thing on my mind was to set myself free from those memories and the only way to achieve this is to quit the job...
I knew this will happen and that is why i apologize to the boss not to fire her, but i guess she thinks firing her would be the end, she didn't realize she is indirectly firing me too....
I had to quit because i can't stay in a place where i am not happy... My happiness is my priority....
That was my last teaching job in a school, i have actually been deliberating to quit for a long time so i can focus on my online career but i didn't because of her, so the moment she left, that was a good reason to quit and say goodbye to the teaching profession.....

God exist, i am a living testimony
Giving up is not an option, every hustler has a pay day
Don't wish for it, Make it happen
It is indeed okay to quit sometimes.take my peace out of a work and you won't find me around it. Just the title of this post made me feel like to swallow the entire content already hehe.
I have had a teaching experience too and I won't be surprise that you had plans to live since but you you didn't know how to until your friend opened the door for you hehe.
Seriously If i am to judge that matter your friend was just so right to leave , in fact if I was in her shoes I would have left before I got fired, some proprietors and proprietress can be so ungrateful, you give them all your efforts and strength yet they will never appreciate even with the little payment. I am not saying teachers should leave their profession when they are not paid properly but sometimes a little appreciation is far better than a million naira or dollar. I am very sure that it was lack of appreciation from your proprietress that her and your friend to continually be in bad times.
If she needs more people to work for her more than she pays then she needs to learn how to understand people that work with her too.
Thanks for sharing this with us boss
yea her effort was not appreciated and the boss want more yet she is not ready to increase her pay, honestly nothing beat being self employed, most boss are users...
Thanks man
You are welcome sir🥰
Well, though loading interest in a job can result to a person to quit but I do feel like to some extent you could have redirected your affection to your students, in that way you wouldn't miss her as much as you do, except the feeling is more than friendship 😅😅.
You were a very valuable asset to the school and you know that in nature of the country economy most schools to to underpay their teachers because they afford to pay for the full services rendered and it takes a lot of tolerance to stay on a job and for her, I don't think she considered you while she was taking actions that could warrant being sacked.
I just hope it was worth it because I don't think I could have made such a decision because I feel like she had it coming.
Though I am still confused about your nature of affection towards her, it seems rather romantic than friendship.
Thanks for sharing.
well i won't blame her, she said she doesn't want to partake in the afternoon lesson that she have something else she was doing but my boss wanted to make that compulsory, and there are other things that causes their disagreement like that, so it was not really about me and i also can't tell her to bear it, that would make me selfish i think......
i really can't direct the affection to the students, there are different kind of feelings, the feelings towards my students will definitely be different from the one i have for my friend....
love is friendship and we can't deny some deep feelings that crept in during the process
Heheheheh you better say the truth Lol 😂😂😂😂😂 you too fired yourself Lol 😂😂😂 because they fired yours partner Lol 😂😂😂😂 Nibo Lol 😂😂😂😂...

Anyway, your happiness is a luxury so pursue it where you can 😇
if nkem say what i was feeling was love then it is love🤣
well i do miss people i have bonded with when they are gone, i was teaching the basic six and anytime my pupils graduate and leave the school, i do feel that way but not as strong as my bestie own lol
Lolz 😂
If you say I believe you 😜
Burlish burl, is that why you stay away from bonding these days? Christmas is not far off, let our prayers ascend more
🤣🤣 well it hurt when you bond with someone and they end up leaving for one reason or the other
Hmmmmm
Tbe fear of burl 👁️👁️....
Hmmmm. He said best friend o.
Haa!
Better pikin 😂
How did you reach here 😂
Hehe. I borrowed your jet.
Noice 👍
Hmm, this one tough oo 😅😅😅
Most private schools will make one do more than they are paid for and if one isn't smart to refuse or take his or her stand, they will continue to use you since you aren't complaining but your best friend did.
So, you found a legit reason to quit the school. The sad thing is that schools do not pay teachers well and the first time I calculated how much I earn online, it was more than what I collect as salary as a teacher and online, it's flexible because I have more time to do other things.
They like sapping people like tick, I have had several offers but I refused ooo
Hahaha 😂
I even have one to narrate. I will do that soon for this weekly edition
good for you😅
what we earn online in two days used to be our monthly salary, which proves how bad the teaching job pay is and yes you are right, we are doing three people work yet getting paid only for one person lol...That is life though
They are cheating teachers aswear 😅
Most times, we don't have to do things untill our knuckles turn white, quitting is always the best option when it seems like what you're doing is not favorable for you.
This made me to remember a when I was working In a place, I had to quit cuz I don't have time for myself anymore, so I have to quit, even thousand I'm getting a good pay.
it's nice reason from you..
time is precious, won't be nice if we spend all our time working and didn't live life... that is going to lead to regret when we become old and weak... so we need to balance both our life and work activities... i think you made the right decision
Yeah, you've said it all, I think balancing is the most important thing we must consider in life.
The first day would have been so dry and look awkward seeing those places where you guys do talk and do things together it must have not been easy for you. So how many days did you use in the school after your friend was fired
it was awful! i think i barely spent 2 weeks because everyday was a torture
That's how it will surely be when someone who is always there together with someone is no more there again
yea and that feeling is one of the worst
So you were busy talking to me at work😝.
Well, some people can be stubborn ooo, and your friend get moral ooo.
Staying where you get happiness is the best
lol well we guys tend to take things as they are, but ladies no no, they hate it when people cheat them lol
The proprietress did what she thought was best for the school and you saw an exit. Smart move!
I can imagine how the first day without your best friend would be especially since you spend all of your times together. Now, you're doing even better online. Well-done! 😁
the first day without her was boring and i lost my mojo but yea i guess that was what i needed to exit because i won't have been able to say i want to quit without having a good reason to
Yes you are right dear. If it doesn't make you happy, then there is no need to continue.
Thanks for sharing.
thanks
First off, your mental stability matters a great deal, and there too your happiness. I'm sorry about your friend losing her job.
yea it is all in the past, i felt better after quitting the work, the memories haunting me reduced
Awwwwww so sweet Friends that got each other 😌😌.
Buy yunno go like drop the main gist?😂😂you sure say that girl na just friend heeeheee😂😂.
It’s good you quit the teaching job though,your happiness matters.
lolz she is my friend😏
Wao that relationship must really be a strong one indeed...
When Ur happiness is at stake, Ur performance will be affected so for the betterment of both your pupils and yourself u made the right decision.
yea i was not motivated to teach anymore and i was just forcing myself, am sure the kids even notice their master was not as agile as he used to be, so leaving was the best option for me😊
Hmmm. Okay oo. You sure she was just your best friend and nothing more? Hmmmm!
Well, the truth is happiness matters a lot. And there’s no harm in quitting what makes you sad!
I’ve also worked as a teacher, I had a terrible experience and had to quit.
she was my bestie😁
i guess we all have a story to tell concerning teaching, nigeria private school so messed up
I love your ending for this write up, " every hustler has a pay day, don't wish, make it happen"
This just motivated me
that is not part of the write up, it is my one of my favorite quote... as long as we don't give up, fortune will smile on us someday😊
thanks man
