Turning circles
So I was reading through my older entries and I stumbled upon my "grand plan" - to become a teacher when I'm older. And it occurred to me how frequently I change my mind. While I still want to go back to the academe when I'm older, I'm also having a blast working here at SMX, and all of a sudden I'm not too sure if the plans I set for myself before still suits the person that I have become now. I love marketing. I love the learning, the responsibility, the stress, the pressure and the power play, Capricorn-Fire Tiger that I am.
I haven't written much lately, primarily because I'm doing the workload of about four to five persons. I handle collaterals, international marketing, business planning, forecasting, even publicity and giveaways. And I'm picking up so much with each task assigned to me. I started here as a kid who had no idea what she's gotten herself into, and now, I feel like I'm contributing enough to the organization. I'm the youngest officer in the office, and it feels good that I'm able to keep up with the pace set by those who are older and more experienced than I am. In addition, it's nice that I'm working with great people, because I'm learning so much from them.
Two of my office mates, one a Mommy figure and the other a Big Sister figure, told me that I've grown up so much the past six months. That's flattering stuff, coming from people that I absolutely trust and respect. It's good to be here. And I can't imagine leaving soon.
