JUST GOT BACK TO BLOGGIN' AGAIN!
It has been a year after I made my last blog. It's just now that I have decided to do blogging again. Seriously, I don't know where to start. Because, you know, after one year of being too focused with the so-practical life and so-called being-the-responsible-lady, I have saved a lot of experiences in life that I cannot scribble immediately.
Well, after I graduated in college last year 2013, I have achieved my objectives.
Post-Graduation Days: April-May, 2013
March 2013 has marked the closure of my student life. Gone are the days of asking allowances from parents, sitting in the arm chairs and listen to the class discussions, going out with peers every now and then in the canteens or to anywhere in the university. After I passed the aisle of success in studentship, my life as a responsible one started. Well, just like the others there, I also thought of getting a job, apply for the national examinations both Licensure Examinations for Teachers (LET) and Civil Service Examinations. So, after two months of being unemployed and long-lost searching for jobs around the city, I was able to land to a teaching job as expected, of course, because I took the teaching course. Then, to be a registered and also an eligible teacher, I applied to two national examinations. That was the things I have in mind so far. But, at that time, I was still in the full-blast of adjustment of just-graduated and about-to-work disposition. I was then too, serious to these things. However, when I was not hearing anything from the schools I applied, I also took online jobs hoping that I could land to a good job and, yes, I chatted to a lot of foreigners and again hoping for greener pastures. Well, I just kept on searching. Yes. I was.
Being employed: June, 2014-March, 2014
So, I worked as a high school English, History, and Filipino teacher not telling those other extra-curricular responsibilities such as singing, dancing and so on including being a student body adviser. A lot of responsibilities done in such one year fixed period working. But, above these things, what I really treasure the most is the part that I enjoy my bond with my students. I was the Grade 7 class adviser and I really enjoyed them as my advisory and at the same time as my younger bros and sis [since their ages are not that far from me]. Yeah, I was with them for one year both teaching them the lessons that they need to learn and to the life values that they should keep as they go along their journeys. In addition, I have also learned how to handle having "boss". Although I have my authority problem which I just recently discovered, I still have that kind of respect to him and still trying to be the teacher he deserved to have in the school. As I worked well with my colleagues, I learned to be collaborative in many ways, too. These really helped me in really achieving my objectives for 2013. I know working in a private school for one year is really short, but cool experiences were guaranteed. Really sounded great to me though I was really having a hard time handling it. But, thanks God, I was able to make it.
Passing national exams: July-October [including waiting time, December]
While working as a teacher handling a lot of subjects, preparing for the national exams which I really considered the most essential than other stuff I do, is really tough that I really was sickly and even fainted. Every weekends, I am a student, too. From 8 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon is really the most challenging I did so far next to being in the student council and CSG. But after months of doing those, I was really thankful that I made it to pass. With all prayers and sacrifice, I was able to do it. Right now, I am not just a teacher but a registered and an eligible one. I took my LET exams in September then my Civil Service in October. Then the results was posted by November and December respectively. I was really, really, glad I passed to both of these exams. So cool.
Being unemployed: March, 2014-present
Right now, I am now considering myself to being unemployed. Yes, I am. I duly accept that fact and that is because I have another set of objectives this year. But, definitely not teaching. Well, for this part, I will post another blog for this.
So far, so good. That is the most important things that I really matter and really valued. With Divine intervention, my departure from studentship to my arrival to employment phase, then another departure to employment phase to another arrival stage of my life.
Well, 'til my next blog, tschüss!
