And just like that, 2025 is almost over. Well, it's pretty much over at work since it's the school holidays now. Is it weird that I'm somehow missing working with my difficult teaching colleagues? In the last few weeks of the term, I was hit with disappointment and frustration - hearing non-constructive criticisms from colleagues about the department and about me.
I cried out to God why he chose me to be in this field? To juggle between advocating for the voiceless and pacifying selfish ones all for the sake of maintaining good PR. I believe I'm someone that's born to be dominant, to be loud and driven, to stand up for what I believe in, even if it makes people turn against me. So why did God put me in this space that's so delicate?
I cried out again to God about how my school leaders lie. Liked the wizard of Oz, parading under a facade of Godly values and portraying themselves to be kind, generous and supportive when they are passive and ignorant of the despise the teachers have towards my team. I concluded that the school is not united in values we so highly preach ourselves to be.
God revealed to me Corinthians 1:13 which talks about the divisions in the church - a situation that's seemingly parallel to mine. I realized that we're all fighting for the same thing but doing it in our own way. We need to be united in Christ but how?
It came back to me that I can't change anyone else except myself. I have to be the one to unite people through my actions. Annoyingly so, as I feel I'm fairly a victim in the situation - but what good does that bring me?
