Diary of an Introvert

41: New School Year

3 months later.... we welcomed the new school year.

And it's not just the school year that's new, also my responsibilities changed.

This year, I was assigned to be the level coordinator and this year too, I will start studying again.

I planned to pursue graduate studies even before I graduated from college but due to our financial problems I became hesitant to reach my dream of becoming a Guidance Counselor.

I am still struggling when it comes to money so why did I decided to enroll for masters this year?

This decision came when my tita (from US) went home in PH. While having dinner, she asked me about my work and if that's what I really want. I told her the truth that I don't think I will be a teacher forever so she asked me again of my plan.

I told her I want to pursue Guidance and Counseling but I can't given our current situation. She became serious and told me "No, you have to do it now while you're young. Don't just wait. My question is... can you do it? You think you can manage your time? If you're answer is yes, I'll pay your tuition. Pay me back when you have enough."

It started here.

I tried to look for reasons that might hinder me from taking this another challenge but it seems that the way was already prepared. All I have to do is to walk on this new road.

My parents are supportive, same as Calvin. Even my superiors are encouraging me to finish it because they also see that I'm meant for this.

Everything was well prepared by the Lord, I guess.

Am I walking on the right road? I hope so.

Lord, I know it won't be an easy journey but please lead the way. Please keep this fire burning so I won't get lost again.
