What's my future profession?
A couple months to graduation and I'm still hovering nowhere near ground about what I want to do in the future. Sure, at first I set my mind on becoming a teacher an applied for the NIE post-graduate diploma programme. I was all excited about it and when I got called for interview I was so happy. But... The moment when I walked into the interview room, it struck me that I may not like being a teacher after all. Looking at all the stern faces of the interviewers, my first thought was: will I become like them :/ I decided on the spot that maybe teaching isn't cut out for me. I would find it boring and monotonous eventually. Maybe that's why I didn't do very well for the interview :p
When I reached home, I immediately applied for the senior police officer post with the police force. I didn't know what prompt me to do that but I realized that yes, I want to do something interesting, exciting and something I like. My choices include police officer, dxo and navy. Weird right? For a girl. But I do want to believe in my choices and go for it. Otherwise I'll regret it. Yes I've finally found something that I'm looking forward to.
But why is it that my friends are not encouraging at all? When they heard about what I applied for, their immediate responses were: but you don't look like you can be a police officer; don't do it you'll regret it; you can't do it. All these totally shook my confidence to the core. I mean, I'm doing something I like, so why can't I? I know it's ultimately my choice but a bit of support and encouragement from my friends would actually help a lot. Now I can't help thinking that if I fail, they will tell me: I told you so. But I will still go for it. Try my best and we shall see how it goes. This is my resolve. My family supports me though and I'm thankful for that :)
