Now Playing Tracks

whenyouwereherebefore: I need the whole world to weep with me when The Big C ends— Good morning everyone. This is Mrs Jamison, the History teacher. And I just wanted to say goodbye… to my personal students as well as to the entire student body of West High at large. Today, today is the day that I say goodbye to teaching. Many of you may know that I have cancer. But that’s not why I’m leaving. I think much of what we require to teach you is just a bunch of useless information that you will never use again. But that’s not why I’m leaving either. I’m quitting my job today because I recently had a conversation with someone who really loves their job. And I realized I don’t love mine. I never even really wanted to be a high school teacher. It’s something my Dad pushed me into because he thought it was a low bar I could clear. But the truth is, it’s a high bar, and I am falling short. And you may never remember the battles I told you about - the facts, the dates, the wars - but maybe, by my quitting today, you will remember to be your best self. You find something you love doing. You DO NOT take the easy route like Mrs Stanley, who has told me countless times that she only became a teacher to have some resolve. You know, I’ve always really cared about my students. I really love you guys. But, I’m going home. I’m going to spend more time with the young person whose adorable cheeks I just wanna squeeze every time I see them, my son. And I’m going to go do things that I love! I’m going to finish learning how to play “The Entertainer” on the piano, which I was doing until my Dad stopped paying for lessons because he didn’t like to hear me practice. And I’m going to eat a lot of my favourite pie from Kowalski’s. ‘Cause life is too short to have weird food rules. And I’m going to finally finish writing an appropriate epitaph for a lovely dog. Hah! So, here I go, to do my thing. (4x01)
