In acknowledging May as Mental Health Month, I felt compelled to go ahead and release part 2 of this series, I Quit Teaching. My mental health challenges is ultimately the reason why I left the classroom. This diary entry is the longest podcast I have produced to date and one of the most difficult diary entries I've created.
I hope this message can be of inspiration to you. To the teachers still in the classroom, I commend you on your work, effort and energy you give each day.
It is somewhat unfortunate that my mental health prohibited me from continuing my career. However, I am growing to be more grateful for this experience because it has helped me to become the man I am today equipped with new tools, strategies and knowledge about my mental wellness. Enjoy this diary entry as I share more about why I quit teaching.
