This may be the last thing I would like to be, but hey, I’m starting to enjoy it. Actually, my mom sees this future of mine, she said, “Ezra, bakit ba Journalism ang gusto mo eh magiging teacher ka din naman?” (not the exact words, I translate it to Tagalog since I know not everybody can understand Masbatenio.)
Oh well, since I’m a stubborn child, I still pursue what i think i want, i never think of my future, I just chose the easy way to end the argument. I really wanted to be a Journalist, no more arguments!
Now, I finished Journalism. Of course my parents are happy for me, but I’m not. The new phase of my life is different, it’s not what I expected. I have lots of regrets. What if’s and If only’s keep on visiting my thoughts. I’ve learned a lot on how to be a journalist, but the real world is not just about learning, it’s all about what you want to do and finding happiness and contentment in what you can do. I realized, (too late), that being a journalist is not just knowing how to write, it requires talent and passion. So, simply saying, i’m not into it.
So, just like what my mom said, i ended up as a teacher, (but I always define my job as Online Tutor…)..At first, I laugh at myself, I thought i’m a loser for ending up like this.
But to my surprise, I’m enjoying it. Every day is a new day to teach and to learn. I’m teaching Korean students and it made it more exciting. I learned from them as they learn from me. It’s like expecting new things everyday. This may not be a perfect profession, but as what my parents say, you work not just for the salary but for your happiness too. I hate teaching before, but I love it now. And wherever this future of mine brought me, I will have no regrets. Cause i can say, I’ve been happy..^,^
