Another death. Another sign for me? / Tuesday, February 28, 2006 @ 8:03 AM
Today, my colleague's father passed away. It was just 2 weeks ago that another colleague's fath
er passed away. Also, dont forget about the superman impersonator last week. It seems that I am surrounded by death almost every week. I am beginning to think that it is God's sign for me. Maybe I should be thinking more about others well being. You know, donate more, help others more, have more compassion. Not that I dont, but I think I can fare a lot better if I am not too busy making a living. Most of us (me included) can sometimes get so caught up in going through our everyday rountine life that we forget what and who is really important in our lives. I mean you dont want to suddenly realise after years of working, you have grown distant from all your families and friends. I am sure you love your family more than you love your boss.
It makes me wonder why people dont think about spending more time with
families. It makes me wonder why they have children and then leave them at the daycare centre for people they dont know, to take care of their children who they love so much. Yes, its tough when both parents have to work and we can all blame the hectic city life and high cost of living. I really hate this city life, it drives people away from themselves. Everybody is so caught up with making money that we forget to stop and smell the roses. I dont understand how people can do this all their lives spening most of their time realising others dreams instead of their own. The fact is most people settle for mediocre and then they spend the time wondering if they could ever suceed. Newsflash. Nothing is going to happen if you dont believe that at least you deserve something better than whatever you are doing. Think about it. Write about it. What do you really want to accomplish out of this life.
Yesterday's interview went great! There were 2 sections of the hall. On the other side, they were interviewing for teachers. Most of them waiting look like their fresh graduates from school. I guess thats what gave me a little more confidence. There were so many people waiting to be teachers that I was the only one waiting to be interviewed for the post of special need officer. There was one girl sitting across me who looked so sweet and she was accompanied by her mother, which I believe must be really embarassing for the poor girl. The mom then started talking to me and asked me what is this special need officer actually about. Apparently, it was her mom's idea that she apply for this position. Her mom then explained to me that her daughter didnt want to be a teacher cos she thinks the kids are so naughty and uncontrollable these days. (I agree with her! Haha.) Poor girl, it must be really embarassing to have your mum waiting with you and blabbering all about you with a total stranger like me! Haha. I then turned to her and asked:
"Why do you want to be a teacher?"
She just smiled and pointed at her mum. Immediately, her mum said aloud:
"You cant even answer that? How are you going to answer the panel inside?!"
Oh my goodness, I really didnt want to be in the middle like that ever again. It seems that she didnt really want to be a teacher. Her mum was more excited than her! Basically, she's living her mum's dream! Oh well, hopefully she will find her passion someday. When I was 17, I too didnt know what to do with my life.
As you might know, I have not been in the best of health these few days as I am accompanied by Ms Runny Nose and the sweet sound of cough. So, when I went into the interview room, there were 4 people, all psychologists. 3 of them looked really senior. I was not nervous at all as I know I have learn to look at people in the eye when I speak. However I was coughing badly that I couldnt answer the panel as much as I want to for some of the questions. I would be really really really dissapointed if I didnt get the job. They even laugh at some of my remarks, in a good way of course. When asked to choose what I would major in, between autism and dyslexia, I told them I would choose to major in dyslexia as I have met people who are dyslexic and I hope to be that one person in their life that understand them and guide them in language literacy. I must thank somebody I recently know, cos she gave me the inspiration that its not the end of the world to be dyslexic.
Pray for me and wish me all the best.
