Realizations

Angh, me and Jamie at the same rest house 2 years ago for her birthday =)

Big word but at least I'm back on track. Thanks to my dearest friend, Jamie who will be leaving for Netherlands next month on a 2-year scholarship for her masters. I'm so proud of her.

I knew I want to be a teacher. That's why I went back to school two years ago to take some teaching units. I backslide when I found out I won't be able to take the licensure exam because I took the wrong subject to complete the required units. I only learned to accept the fact that I won't be able to change what happened this year.

I realized that it's not yet time for me to teach because I lack experience. I need to go back to school and finish the course I missed, save up to take the TOEFL and for the admission fee then apply to a scholarship for my masters. I am planning to apply for the Fulbright and the Korean Government scholarship. I already browsed through the universities I can go to that offers the best Education program that has practice teaching. I am willing to wait and work hard to achieve my goals. These will happen before I turn 30. All these I realized after going to Jamie's family rest house to have her despedida and her mom's birthday party. Talking with her cousin gave me the courage to go after the scholarship. The thing is I'm afraid of failing but like how the saying put it, "The sooner you fail, the sooner you can get up again and go towards success". And that's what I'm going to do.

I am just waiting for a job offer. Hopefully they can match what I am getting before so I can make this happen. It's something I used to do before but I won't complain because my heart is set on the goal. And I promise I'll handle my money well this time. I'll keep you posted on how my goals will turn out to be. I can't imagine what one weekend could do. I will definitely miss Jamie but I know when we see each other again, nothing will change. Maybe she can meet me in the US or Korea, or I can meet her in London or Spain.
