I wasn't able to work for 5 years because I had to take care of my Daddy. No regrets, just some of those "I-am-tired-and-I-wanna-have-a-career-now!" moments. But just as soon as I started trying to look for a job, I always look back as I see the sad look on my Daddy's face like he was saying, don't leave me or else I'll die. And because I am a proud Daddy's girl, I'll forget all my dreams and career goals to look after my Dad. I was his nurse, driver, doctor, enemy, best friend and all. We had our own world for 5 years. And so when he left, the day after my birthday, I was devastated. Call it, the saddest moment of my whole life. The person who I shared my everyday with, just left me. There are a lot of times whenever I am eating, I'll stop as tears roll down my cheeks. It was a couple of months.
Because I wanted to divert my attention and finally get back on my feet, I enrolled with BSU's Graduate School classes for MBA. I had new friends, I was a bit busy. Or should I say, my Saturdays are busy. Good enough. I gained back my smile while I learn.
Last October of 2012, Aimee my bestfriend asked me to take an exam for a teaching job at BSU. We took it together. But that time, they just need 1 instructor and so Aimee started teaching since November last year.
This school year, I was officially an Instructor too. Tourism & HRM Classes :) Luckily, I have 3 major subjects and 28 hours a week of work.
It was difficult, actually it is still difficult. Backache, headache, sleepless nights and boring weekend with my laptop doing my lectures. But more than that, I thank God everyday for giving me a job that I love to do. For giving me responsible students. For giving me colleagues that are like sisters to me. For finally giving me a career at 32. I am sure to have more sleepless nights & boring weekends but it is okay. It is all part of it.
Back to work! :)
