During my University time,
I am blessed that i am being exposed enough, to determine what my career path would be like
As I always think that I am good in teaching and working with children will lead me to a carefree and happiness life
I taught I would be teaching, for the rest of my life
But, I have never taught that:
I've given up something that I passionate about, so easily
It was just few months after I graduated;
As planned, I started off my working life with few job attempts in Early Childhood field
Although the working life was carefree and happy;
However, other than two of the captioned above, a fresh graduate with big dream
can merely survive in the particular field
By accepting the truth that: 'being involved in Early Childhood basically can't guarantee you a promising future'
I left Early Childhood with heavy heart
My dream was broken,
and I am totally clueless in term of resetting my career pathway
For all this while, I have been, and only think that:
I will teach for the rest of my life (that's it)
I have never taught of the day,
where teaching, is no longer in my career list
At the same time,
I had an offer from a bank
Without a second taught,
I accept the job offer
Transition from Early Childhood to Bank Corporation was though
In fact, it has been really really tough on me
With zero banking experiences and no Finance / Business background
I am drown in the sea with boring figures, annoying charges, and some business operation things that I have no idea about
At first, I taught I have made my decision in rush,
which causes me self blame a lot about making such a bad decision dedicating myself to serve for a bank
But every time after I have been sent for a training or meeting;
I am being inspired.
After a very long time, I can finally find back the time where my eyes spark with hopes
I am also grateful to find out that,
I, actually appreciate all the opportunities given / granted by my boss
Although things changed, unexpectedly.
And I know that a broken heart, cannot return to it's original shape.
But as long as I am granted with the ability to live
I will strive for the best in everything that I do
Now that I've learned: nothing is guarantee.
Even for the things that I assumed or promised myself that I will be achieving it in no time
So, let's just not expect the same from others
things changed, unexpectedly,
and what we can do is, accept it with a full heart and think of the possible ways
The broken pieces of my (previous) dream,
I am now, slowly picking 'em up
