Why and How I Quit My Perfect Art Teaching Job - The TRUTH

I recently resigned from my elementary art position. The story of why a perfectly good art teacher (that's me) left her stable awesome job to pursue other passions.

Second half I list HOW I prepared to leave:
1. Get my finances in order
2. Health Insurance, womp womp!
3. What art will I make and how will I make it
4. Making money & getting a part-time job
5. Fallback, don't burn bridges. There are more teaching jobs out there.
