In my post on Why I Just Quit My Good Job, I mentioned my resignation letter. This elicited a few questions from readers, so I thought it would be informative as to my reasons for leaving if I posted the actual resignation letter. Authenticity and full transparency is the best policy for me, so hopefully this answers more questions! The school name has been replaced with Esteemed School - you guys understand :)
Dear Esteemed School,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the wonderfully curious community of learners that is Esteemed School. It has been a pleasure for me to see this community of students grow as people, and in helping the community to learn I have grown tremendously myself. When teachers can learn as much from students as students from teachers, a school is certainly doing something right. I am excited to see how the students of our school will change the world.
However, due to the fact that I firmly believe in the principles of full engagement, it is time for me to move on to new pursuits. Energy and interest are cyclical, and intermittent disengagement as well as a meandering course are necessary means by which I will ultimately find my life’s pursuit (doing that which excites me) and achieve my goals (making as much of a positive impact on environmental issues as possible). Thus, I will not be returning to Esteemed School next year. I regret leaving such an excellent school that has done so much for me, but these beliefs and passions are pushing me out into the world, and I am taking the leap.
I wish the best to the school and will be following its extraordinary progress!
Be well and have happy journeys,
Marshall Moose Moore
