Quitting My Job
So, basically, I work as a teacher assistant. I'm 23 and I have my bachelors degree. But, I can't continue working here for a variety of reasons. One is the money. There are no benefits. And the drive there has caused many, many problems. It's not close to my house and there is bumper to bumper traffic on the route there, causing me to have gotten into an accident already three times. Only one was my fault. Two of them were not. Either way, it's not working out. I am dealing with chronic stress right now when it comes to this job for so many reasons. I was going to quit starting in january. I was going to ask them to start looking for a new person for january because i'm going back to school. Today I was in an accident. I sprained my wrist, can't really move my neck and have bruises on my legs. My stomach was slightly punctured and it hurts to get up. I have strong feelings to throw up. But, it's just so weird. I obviously called in but I feel like I'm going to get in trouble. They are understaffed and very, very stressed. I think it would be best if I just took this opportunity to quit because I don't even feel safe driving there. I'm not going to have a car for another two weeks due to the accident. What is the best way to quit? I am just a little scared.

Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
Since you are on a form of medical leave at the moment what I advice you to do is: Call the principal of the school and advice him or her that you are not going to be returning to work once you are cleared to do so by your doctors. To accept this as a verbal 2 week notification. You also tell him or her that you will send a formal letter of resignation to him or her in a few days and request that he or she send you any paperwork that they may require for you to complete including your final paycheck.
You are under no obligatiion to give them a reason for resigning your position. Though if you want any type of positive recomendation from them you should give a valid reason. The fact that you have a long commute, which has caused you to be in two accidents not of your fault, is to me a very valid reason for seeking emploment closer to where you prefer to live. In short the reason for leaving is to seek employment closer to home. This is the reason you give if asked for one.
Hope you feel better soon. If you have not seen a doctor please do so. It sounds as if you might be more seriously injured than you believe. If you don't have medical insurance your car insurance or the person how hit yous' insurance will cover the doctors costs. also if this is one of the accidents not of your faul get a lawyer and let them handle the settlement. It cost you nothing as there fee comes out of what they recover for you in settlement for injuries an lost wages as well as pain and suffering if allowed for in the laws in your state.
