because i'll live happily ever after

May 04, 2009 18:12

It felt like a long a very long time since I had an unobstructed view of the world. As I contemplate on things passed, I begin to see things that I missed and kept missing because I refuse to understand - because I refuse to listen.

There are many things that I should be grateful for, and that includes the unlimted chances I am given in this life to correct my mistakes and make amends.

For the past years, I lost all sense of self, believing that I cannot survive the cruelty of the reality because I was well-sheltered for the whole of my existence. But now, looking back, I am not as fragile as I seem to be. I had my own share of trials that I went through, some of them I cannot even believe I survived.

What have I accomplished in the past 2 years?

I PASSED THE LICENSURE EXAMINATION FOR TEACHERS
I am a licensed professional, and I passed the exam with a pretty good rating.

I BECAME A PRESCHOOL TEACHER
Maybe one of the most memorable and challenging experiences of my life.

I GOT ACCEPTED TO A GRADUATE SCHOOL ABROAD
Not all people are given the chance to study at a foreign university, but I made it.

I COMPLETED AND PRESENTED A RESEARCH PROPOSAL
The only Filipino in class, my paper was at par (maybe even better) with the rest of my peers.

I GOT ACCEPTED AS AN EDITORIAL ASSISTANT FOR A PUBLISHING COMPANY
One of my dream jobs. I am glad I was able to do it.

I AM A TEACHER
I am may not look the part, but I always prove people wrong when they tell me I am young.

Things I need to focus on for the next two years:

I NEED TO GET BACK TO GRADUATE SCHOOL
As a teacher, this is an inevitable part of my professional growth.

I WILL INVEST
Something to look forward to in the future. A comfort after working hard.

GET MORE ENGAGED INTO SERIOUS WRITING
Fiction, poetry, or essay - whichever. I have talent so I have to use it.

ATTEND CONFERENCES AND WORKSHOPS
For personal growth. And to widen my horizons. Maybe meet other people.

TRAVEL MORE OFTEN
It is always nice to go places and see faces.

There is not much that I accomplished during the past two years but I am proud of them. There are people who may resent me for getting all the good stuff when they see that I am not working hard enough to deserve such accomplishments.

Maybe it's just good karma.

Maybe I deserve it for not being cruel.

Maybe I am striving enough to get a little credit.

And I refuse to get stucked in someone else's messed-up melodramatic world because I will live happily ever after.
