Not Finishing My Last Three Weeks

Extra context- I work at a private elementary school and was told I would have a position next year. This conversation I posted was after my supervisor kept ignoring my contract request via email and text. With the advisement of coworker friend to go and talk to the principal to let her know that I’m interested in returning next year so I did. The Principal seemed excited in my interest in working here next year and that she will look into it.

I went home crying that day because I was so upset yesterday I came in with a new attitude trying to be positive but I felt hollow and sad. One of my close friend teachers that I work with saw me crying and said unemotionally “I’m sorry this job is really tough and not everyone’s cut out for it”. I couldn’t believe my hears. I was always the first teacher there in the morning and last teacher to leave. I never took time off for vacation or personal time. Teachers would constantly show up and say they have a headache and just leave after two hours but somehow I wasn’t cut out for this.
