kinda feeling down (because of a student) for the first time
I got this new student not long ago and she was very happy and booked a package right away. I warned her that I would not be teaching for 12 days because of health issues (without developing much, I'm on some medicine that make me feel quite awful physically and I explained to her that I had set my schedule as unavailable for those 12 days because I didn't want people to book classes only for me to have to cancel later or teach in a horrible condition). My schedule is available right after those 12 days (and I told her the specific date too), 6 days a week
It hasn't even been a week and she sent me a long message today saying that she wanted to terminate the package because she'd like to study every day and that having to wait so long to book my classes was just not her style or what she was looking for. She said she planned to go ahead and try to find another tutor
I've never had any... extra thoughts when anyone requested to terminate her package. Everyone has their own situation, and she might've changed her mind too. Whether this is the actual reason or not, it's just made me feel so down today. It kinda made me feel like I'm not allowed to take a break, not even when I've explained to all of my students that this was happening (to those who were taking lessons with me since before, I let them know quite early in advance) and it's for health reasons too. It's not like I can help it
Sorry for the rant, I guess I'm just sad. Again, I don't mind her terminating the package, but I'm kinda upset at the reasoning behind it, as if I went missing every other week or had my calendar permanently unavailable. I'll be back to teaching normally in less than a week :/
Edit: The issue isn't them wanting to find someone else, it's the way they worded it (which I cannot and wouldn't show on here) as if I somehow had been disappointing them by suddenly disappearing for weeks every time. It's the first time I take a break because of health
