God wanted me to be, not what i wanted to be...


this has been a problem to me from the time that i asked myself about what will i wanna be in the future. i thought in the beginning that im already mature enough. but things did not went through as what i had expected. i took up a bachelor's degree in education majoring physics and chemistry, you might wanna asked why i chose this? since i did not grow up in a well-off family i need to look for a scholarship program to support my studies. though, teaching is not my passion it's far more better than not having any course at all. after i graduated from college, i worked as a call center agent. i received all the compensations, benefits and incentive i deserved and much even more helped my parents pay their debts. yet, i am still not happy with my life. I got bored and burnt out. i decided to resign thinking to teach after a year of letting what i had learned in college, deteriorate. de spite of the decision i have, teaching still doesn't look appealing to me. and as what u can expect in changeable mind, i did not apply for any teaching jobs but instead decided to study psychology...

though i am not really a top perfomer in the company my supervisor and my manager negotiate with me.. and since i have already decided to go back to school i grab the opportunity to work while i study.. yesterday, i went to my alma mater and checked for some informations regarding the course that im planning to take up. i checked the syllabus and find out that i still have to take up 36 subjects. i computed it and it some up to four years since i will be working, it,s not a good option coz time is one of my considerations. if i can't make it within 2 years, i'd rather take up a masters degree related to what i have graduated and the helpdesk informed me that a certain Father Perudial has to evaluate my credentials and it will takes a lot of processes after that. in my dismay, i went home with blank mind.

just this moring, i thought of checking other schools.i went to my sister's alma mater. i was given with a syllabus. the thing that caught my attention was this particular course in bold letters" masters of art in education in science education.. they helpdesk told me that it need not have an experience as long as you passed the entance exam. imagining a future scenario, i have noticed that there is another related course that really made me think. it said: masters of arts in teaching in sciences.. these are two related courses but i'm confused what differs them both?

i went out of the building after getting all the informations i needed. and i breathe in, and i feel relieved..then a realization came out of nowhere; my subconscious spoke to me and it said, God really wanted me to become a teacher. coz no matter how i tried to go farther from this profession the more the option of becoming a teacher left for me. it's like i don't have a choice coz this where i belong. though i still have to find out the difference between the two, i can imagine a tranquil mind. atleast i already have a direction regardless which of these two will i consider.

then, i smiled.. i answered back, well if you really want me to be a teacher then i will pass the entrance exam and so be it.. AMEN...
