at the end of my short journey as a teacher, i began to question whether i still have the fire within me to continue and teach...questions that also started my eventual decision to make a shift in the direction that i'm taking...a few powerful questions that led me to where i am right now...
the year 2009 marked the change in my perspective as an "idealist" teacher to a pragmatic individual whose outlook in life is marked not by what should be, but on what is practical and fitting for a given situation...i suddenly changed all my views!
shifting from a teaching career to a work in a contact center made me feel better...for the moment though...as i will never know, when that wind of change will blow...who knows within the year... or within two years...
when i decided to work in a contact center, i made sure that i was staying for a couple of years before i go back to my original profession...teaching! teaching is indeed a noble profession, and it still is! although it is devoid of the monetary compensation that a contact center job gives...what made me tired of teaching is the fact that you sometimes find yourself under a pile of never ending paperworks which you don't have when you're working in an industry...this is one aspect of teaching that i really cannot cope up with until now and what makes me work harder to stick with my present endeavor.
although i still would want to help but right now i'm still not ready to give the usual energy that i had before...it's like a burning candle that's almost about to die out...
