light bulb moment

One of my students texted me last night and we had a short but good conversation…He asked how i was, and that he no longer is taking up psychology but is taking up culinary arts in a school in Mandaue and is about to graduate…he said it scares him to be in the professional world…He says he is yet mature enough to be a young professional…and i said, i don’t even think i’m mature enough now that i’m 25.

I have recently been thinking that i need a new job. I love teaching, i do. But it seems that with the job i’m in, i still feel like i’m still having the same old attitude that i had in college…easy, happy go lucky. I even squirm everytime classes would resume after a period of vacation. Well there’s nothing wrong with being happy and easy going, i know i’d continue being those, but i guess i just want to be alittle more mature.

and at some point he said, why don’t i try going somewhere, work somewhere else, so i can gauge and increase my maturity level. Coz he wuld be taking his OJT in Palawan, away from his comfort zone, and trying to make it out for himself. funny how the student became the teacher this time. Oh well, i’ve been thinking of trying things on my own for awhile, he just validated it.

I just turned 25, and i’m not getting any younger. Yes, i’d always have that cool and happy disposition but i am feeling more than ever that i simply need to grow up! Take more responsibilities…Start building a good and brighter future…

I’m contemplating a lot of things right now…i’m trying to think of how my life would be…i’m thinking of my dream beach wedding, a house, a business, my own kids (i want my 1st to come before i reach 30.hehe), my own family…and if i want to get all of those, i need to start now…start growing up..start being a little more mature…

i’d still be fun and relaxed, but i want to be more responsible, more sensible…

if i always put it off for later, if i always wait for things to come and not start working for them, i’d always be putting off a great future, and an even greater life (because mine’s great even now.heheh) for me and the people i’d be spending the rest of my life with…

the time is now…
