Around this time, three years ago (July 2017 to be exact), I was also in this same room. Although the circumstances are different. My mindset then was desperation, now it’s abundance.
The jeepney realization
Don’t just ride any jeepney. Choose the one going to your destination.
I’ve waited so long… The waiting started during the summer of 2017 when I received a call from the principal of Mainit NHS. But I didn’t really end up there, did I? I had other options.
Anyway the wait was so long that I remember riding on a jeepney with ICENHS students in it and thinking that “these are the kids that I will be teaching.”
As the jeepney passed ICENHS, I thought to myself “that’s the school that I will be teaching at.”
It was a surreal moment. My emotions were a mix of impatience and excitement.
Oh how easy we forget. Maybe it’s true that the chase is more exciting than the reward. I guess that’s what I needed that time. I was bored with nothing to do. I needed to contribute.
And so I did.
But now I need something more. Something else. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just that my goals are different now.
As I sit here in front of the SDS office, I realize that I’ve come full circle.
