How I lost my job

.Two years ago I lost the one job I loved.  I thought I loved it.  Well I did love my job.  There were some aspects that I could do without.  I do take education very seriously.  I just think that nor everyone is made for a traditional education. 

There are those people that do great in a traditional school setting.  Then there are those that learn more by doing.

I lost my job because I was getting fed up with how the school system was going.  I did love my job.  I tried to save it by writing a formal rebuttal to the evaluation that was written about me.  I mistakenly signed and agreed to the evaluation because I believed that what was written must be true.
The problem was not my MS.

It sort of was.  I did not use my MS as an excuse.  I did have stress but it was because someone I love was killing themselves with alcohol and I was powerless to help them.  I had seen alcohol hurt others and I did not want it to happen to them.

I informed my supervisor about my MS and even told my supervisor about my concerns for the person I care about.

Well with the stress of always performing at 110%., concern for the peron I love, and the stress of having my supervisor always tell me that it did not seem like I wanted to work for the department anymore.

I just wanted to do my job.  I had more and more duties taken away from me.  My job became boring.  If I wanted to die that would be the way to kill me.  Take away the duties I enjoyed.  I waas bored.  I hate being bored.  So I put my head down and did the work I was allowed to do.

Deep down I knew that all I was doing was pushing papers to have children removed from school.  I did say school is not for everyone.  Then there are those who need time to discover who they are.  Removing them from school with no options is not a good idea.

MS did play a role but any person under that much stress woul have had a problem.  My MS seems to be slow moving.  The only physical damage that I have now is a wierd feeling in my feet. 
I gave birth to three healthy kids.  Crazy but healthy kids. 

So I lost my job for someone I love and I would do it again.  Loving someone that much can be difficult.
