A Wish to Work Abroad

Part 1


Almost every Filipino is dreaming to work abroad and considered me as one for an obvious reason. It wasn’t as easy as I thought. I needed to give up some things to gain the other. First, I have to make a career change since my bachelors degree and my job experiences were not “in demand” in other countries. I was so cautious though with my decision so I chose a career that is a sure ticket to other countries and a career that I will also love not just for the amount it pays. I could have chosen nursing and care-giving but I just couldn’t bear myself to be in school again for a long period of time after 7 years that I was free from assignments, reports, needless to say “the creepy teachers” and other stuff. Apparently I chose teaching and it only took me one semester to finish the course as I was a full time student. (yep, I quit my job to finish it faster). I don’t know if my classmates felt the same way as I did but I tell you that I’ve had downright pressures (my first migraine attack occurred this time). Either I was too serious because it was my brother who shouldered my school fees and I don’t wanna upset him or I had a “culture shock” (from marketing to teaching and from being out –of-school and being in school again) but I persevered because of my dream. Nevertheless, everything had been a wonderful experience. I was also lucky to have brilliant teachers and amazing classmates.

So you think I was set to go abroad? Nope , I still have to take LET the Level 2 of my preparation)
