I'm being pressed as to what I really want to do in my life. In the "real life", I know what I want but when asked regarding my career life, a big question mark still appears in the scene. In my present career, maybe I have to admit that the drive is not there primarily because I don't enjoy what I'm doing. I'm not really a nut for meeting clients, doing presentations, analyzing other peoples' computations and list goes on...

During college, I remember taking a career test. The result -- my qualities belong to that of "social jobs"... examples are teaching, medical industry, social work. Yep, I wanted to become a doctor but due to financial constraints, I wasn't able to.. and I wasn't that intelligent to have a scholarship. So I shifted my interest on a 4-year course - COMMERCE. I chose Accountancy mainly because Business Administration is like saturated already... Economics?? come on, what will I do with that??. And there goes my journey to the unknown world of accounting. I took the course not knowing what an accountant does. hahahaha... (I'd like to mention, my dad graduated with a degree of BS Accountancy then he joined the Air Force)

As part of my extra-curriculars, I joined the Mentors' Circle. A sub-organization under JPIA that teaches or assists sophomore students on their accounting subjects. It was there that I realized na teaching is cool... not just because you are able to help the kiddos study one of the most burdensome pre-requisite subjects but because you are also able to influence their lives as well. (I'd like to mention also, my mom is a teacher)

Although teaching won't bring the financial gains I am aiming for, I will still do that sometime in the future. It's part of my timeline. It could be my career until my last days. At this point in my life, stability is my goal.
