Depressed & lost some of my self-confidence
Hello
I have been a preschool teacher for 17 years and I recently became unemployed. I was suspended and they did an investigation. I took a video of a student and sent it to a co-worker. The video wasn’t inappropriate. The co-worker reported me to supervisors. Long story short I was given two choices: resign and be able to collect unemployment or be fired with the chance of not being able to collect. I chose to resign. I’m not proud of my actions and I admit I made a mistake. I don’t believe what I did was so severe I should’ve been fired, but it is what it is. It has made me feel a lot of self-doubt. However, maybe it was a blessing in disguise. I’m going back to get my masters in the fall, but I just wish the parting of ways would have been my choice not theirs. Anyway thanks for listening.
