Time surely flies fast. Two days from now, a new year will start. I will soon be 23 years old, yet it seems that nothing is happening to my life. This is too much of a repose (if I can tag it as such). I need a new challenge, an adventure to embark on.
I currently enjoy every facet in being a coach, apart from one thing—salary. I do not get to enjoy the amount I am obtaining now, in the same way I got pleasure from my wage when I was still in sales. Simply put, I am presently obtaining less than what I was getting before. It may be ironic but the promotion made me earn a smaller amount every payday. Funny. Perhaps I will just go back to sales, but I am certain that this idea will not be easily implemented. Another option maybe is to look for another employer. However, with the global economic crisis which resulted to business recession and company lay off, I do not think that venturing to this option will be a good move. Thus, I am left with no choice but to stay. Cool.
Every time I see or hear anything related to UP, I somehow go ballistic. I just miss everything about it perhaps, to the point that I want to study there again, regardless of the degree or whatever the outcome will be. I just want to bring back the life of being a student—carefree. Stupid, I know. This may also be one of the reasons behind my LAE experience. I kept thinking that I would have no life outside being a UP law student…that my world would stop if I do not get into UP College of Law. But I have proven myself wrong. I have neglected the fact that the rest of the universe is surely there waiting to be noticed.
Apparently, the downfall of not achieving the UP-law-school-dream was not easy to accept. The redemption from this so called failure was never painless and trouble-free. But here I am, smirking now on the things that I have gone through. I must admit that once in a while, I still think that it was too bad I was not able to make it. But out of realization, I deem that I needed all of these experiences to let go of being UP-centric, and to appreciate the things that can be seen in the other side of the wall.
I know I desired to take up law, and to eventually become a lawyer. Even my personality, according to most, if not all of the people I know, suits my dream. But nowadays, practicality plays a big factor in an individual’s way of living. If I will be fortunate enough to become a law student, say in Ateneo or San Beda (no more UP for me please!), I will spend four years to finish the degree. I will be 27 years old by then already. Another year must be utilized for the BAR exam. What if I do not pass the exam immediately? What if I will need to take it for the second or the third time? Not a good idea to entertain though! I will also need at least five years to establish my profession. OMG! 33, 34, 35 years old? Spare me! This is perhaps one of the roads less traveled, but I prefer to take a different route—a road less traveled still, yet a road much more practical to be traveled. An MBA in Ateneo maybe? Why not? If ever, I will then be a maroon-slash-blue blooded alumna. I love it!
(Almost) Two years is long enough for this relaxation. It is but right for me to reach an objective again, not just to regain my pride, but to give direction to my life as well. New year, new aim. Cheers to a happy, productive and successful 2009!
