Over the years, I’d done a number of things to be thankful of; I had good careers from different well-known companies and government agencies where I would always leave substantial contributions. I’d done what’s expected from me after college; helped ease family finances, been sending a sibling to school, and was able to buy not only my needs but mostly my wants.
These
careers that I secured in the past had me earning, but after getting that
expensive phone, shirt and jeans in the mall, after dating and going to night
outs using my own money; at the end of the day; I’m still deeply unfulfilled.
For years of my journey as an employee I was not able to find my purpose. I
feel like I am not utilizing myself to my full potential.
Seeking
difference but not sure what to do and where to start to figure out something
you don't have a clue.
Countless
nights of thinking, I’ve been asking myself; are you going to pursue your
profession? Join the military where you grew up? Or just stay where you are and
settle and appreciate what you currently have. I had no answer.
The very
famous phrase “follow your passion” is a very nice concept. But there’s one big
problem. I don’t know what passion is. I wish to find that one out soon.
And so I
ended up resigning again. The most recent was the job where I remained for
almost three years; the longest I have ever been with since I started working.
Went home without any assurance of getting hired anywhere soon. I busted myself.
Fast
forward and I went to the academe. It was such a decision that no one including
me saw coming. This career is very challenging. It was not easy. I knew I am an
introvert who hates the crowd, hates people’s eyes on me, but even so; I made a
leap.
Struggle
was killing me during my first days, my first time as an instructor went
without any background and training. This fool does not even know what a lesson
plan is, how to conduct assessments or whatever is needed to be an effective
instructor. Again, it was not easy but finally, I found a purpose.
I would
be sharing a lot more about what I found and have been enjoying on a different
post so for now, haha! I’ll leave you hanging.
