What every challenge is trying to teach me
I thought I'd always wanted to be a teacher.
Well actually, there is no doubt in my mind that I always to be a teacher. Teaching has become a passion for me. From being a nurse to a teacher is a complete leap of career move. I realized that by 'accident'. When I finally reached by goal of being a teacher in a public school, I thought, "This is it. I've reach my goal." In my first year teaching in the public school, there were many adjustments. It was something totally understandable since I came from a private school. It was really different. But in my second year teaching, my world turned 360 degrees. Everything just changed. Even my perspective.
It actually challenged my own personal beliefs and ideas that I will be a teacher until I reach old age. There were many circumstances that eventually led me in this and got me thing "Is this really the kind of life I wanted? Working 9 to 10 hours a day, being all stressed of so many workload, and the salary is not even that worth it." I felt I was living in a bird cage, where day by day, I was just slowly giving up a slice of my life to this corrupt institution. All my energy, my creative ideas, are starting to vanish. I'm starting to feel like I'm losing control over my own life. It was being taken away from me, slowly. And I just told myself that this is not the kind of life I wanted. There must be a way I can 'escape' from this.
Eventually I was lead to the idea of entrepreneurship. I started connecting all my past experiences and challenges, and somehow I felt like I was being led to this new road...a road that is less traveled for many. And when I started changing my mindset and delved deeper into this entrepreneurial world, it just gave me a sense of hope. And an opportunity to bring back control of my life and destiny. I started accepting everything that I am in for this. That I am ready to face every challenge that comes my way to achieve my goals.
