I attended a Christening this morning. It was a sweet party for a long awaited angel. Anyway, in the party I happened to meet, once again, my French teacher. It was not a quick hi hello session, though I hope it would. During out talk, I had some realizations and regrets.
The first time we met (me and my French teacher), he had so much faith in me and my friend. He found us very smart and those impressions were wasted by our lack of diligence in our French lessons.
In our talk, he still had the same impression and I was moved by the cause he was trying to fulfill. He is trying to provide free education for Filipinos; cause if wasn’t for that he wouldn’t be staying here in the Philippines, especially when one of his daughter got the dengue last year.
I told him I would like to study French again and I would really like to teach part time at Maternelle Academy, for free. He was quite happy about it and we even exchanged numbers.
That scene up there, is a chance of bringing back my challenging life again. Now that I am working, I feel so stagnant in some ways. But I love what I do, don’t get me wrong. SEO is fun and challenging as it is. But I miss what I use to do in college and I feel my communication skills are starting to deteriorate and I also realize that I have some characteristics that I don’t wish to keep.
I have this huge pride that won’t seem to budge. I can be boastful and I don’t know what I want in life. I have been asking for a sign and maybe this volunteer teaching of mine is. I hope to live a life wherein I’m happy and contented.
I hope to know what I want in life so that I can work in achieving it now. Did you experience anything like this? I know I’m not the only lost sheep frolicking. Speak out your dilemma and share your life lessons here as well.
