Reflection; Preparing to Soar

Yesterday, I told my boss that I wanted to try teaching. More than being supportive, he encouraged me to try and explore further. I said I wanted a not so developed institution to serve. He shared his adventure and crazy stories. Now I have this idea of trying out teaching in a province not my own -- beautiful province aside from Zambales.

Being a supportive boss, a mentor who would push me to be more daring, more adventurous, confident and have that "lakas ng loob," he even advised me to apply for teaching positions NOW. Yeah, he's my boss and I've been with the project for only two months now and yet he's telling me to go -- that hey, it isn't bad to jump from one job to another especially if it entails testing myself, discovering myself, learning, growing and pushing my limit. I like that! Being unconventional.

Yesterday was the first time that I wasn't left confused and dazed when faced with questions about life -- contemplating and reflecting what I want to do. It was even exhilarating. I'm taking it quite slowly, though. The second semester would start in about two months already, yet I'm still here not really doing something about applying for a teaching position outside my comfort zone. Hey, it is not that easy. Fun, yes, but not really easy.

So, am I now ready to soar high? Still preparing for it. Like that photo above, I have not spread my wings yet, but am excited to see what's in store for me -- what I would learn about myself, what to see in the horizon. Sometimes, life offers more than what we initially see and perceive. I think it is going to be beautiful .
