The Pain is Back
Ever since I was a kid I've always wanted to be a lawyer. For as far as I can remember whenever people ask what I'd want to be when I grow up I'd say "lawyer" without thinking. Everything I did was geared towards the fulfillment of that goal, then my last year in college came. My dad was driving me to school, I was half asleep as I always was each morning I go to school...he dropped the bomb. "Are you sure you want to be a lawyer?...I don't think you'd make a good lawyer" my blood rushed through my head when i heard my dad saying those words. I felt so betrayed, the one person who inspired me to pursue law is telling me that I'm not good enough for that career...I would have preferred if he decided to just stick a dagger into my heart that way he would have spared me from the pain I felt when he said those words. After that I became a teacher...hehe!
I never thought I'd become a teacher. I've always hated being in school, I remember when I was young, whenever I go to school I'd always feel this unexplainable pain in my tummy. At first, I thought it was just because I didn't want to go to school but I noticed that even on days when we would just pass by my school I'd still feel that pain in my stomach. THe thought of being in school had always been frightening for me....I really don't know what possessed me to go into this profession which requires me to go to school everyday. |
