Prologue
Do I really want to do this?
The numbers on the clock read 2:45 a.m—a fine time for me to be wide awake. I stared glumly at my computer monitor tried my best to dig up the words that would best communicate what I wanted to say.
"Dear Mr. Principal," I read softly to myself. "This is to inform you that I shall be resigning as of March 31, 2010 due to…due to…"
I paused, groping for the words that just wouldn't come. After several frustrating moments, I slammed my fist down on the table.

Not quite knowing what else to do, I switched the computer off, hopped into bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Of all people, why'd it have to be you!?
After a few moments of bleary silence, I wiped the tears from my eyes and sighed.

"Let's think positive," I murmured, speaking the words I'd often quoted to him.
How I wished I could follow my own advice.
