Quitting my once a week job-but why do I feel guilty?

I have a job at a small school that I go to only once a week. I knew I shouldn't have taken it when I did back in June but I was feeling hopeful and figured once a week wouldn't hurt since I am just starting out as a business owner and could use the extra cash to support me.

I have a job at a small school that I go to only once a week.

Now that my business has taken off it's become my main source of income and the part time is not only getting in the way, it's awful. The principal is rude and unapproachable and the kids behavior are awful. It's like going to be tortured once a week for $110 a day.

But why do I feel so guilty? I know they are going to be mad I decided to leave early. I told them I would make a one year commitment when I was hired but they aren't giving me any reason to stay. I learned that they lost more than half their staff over summer (one of the teachers told me and she said this was her last year) and I can see why. Wish I knew before I was hired….

How do I get over this feeling of guilt? What's wrong with me? I shouldn't be feeling this way, I owe them nothing…..
