Career Path
POSTED AT 02:37 PM in My Life and what's left of it..., People

I was never afraid of the changes in my life. I've been through a lot of transitions lately. My journey to motherhood was one of the biggest transition that I've ever experienced in my life.

Career-wise, I had a few transitions as well. The last time was when I allowed myself to work on something which is way below my capacity. No, I don't mean to belittle my present job. I love my job, this is my bread and butter, the reason why I was able to achieve the financial part of motherhood.

Yet, I cannot deny the fact that the job is not me. If one would read through my credentials, he'll be puzzled why I am in my current job. It happened several times. Many people have questioned me about my choice. Well, this was the first (and maybe the only) company which entrusted me a job during my most difficult times. I actually owe the company my survival as well as my little darling's.

Well, the company acknowledges the fact that I can do more. And that I am nearing the stage of getting burnt out. I wanted challenges. I want to practice what college has taught me. I want to work with hardware and find myself in the middle of networking equipment and gadgets. And so, I am about to go through another transition.

I will be assigned to another task. I am happy and at the same time worried. Will I be successful in this change? Will I be able to do my tasks well? I know I needed to read a lot. I have forgotten my networking basics and I am not updated with the current networking technologies. This is gonna be difficult!

But I am accepting the challenge. I will not let this opportunity pass me. This has been my dream ever since I graduated my Computer Engineering course. No one wanted me then though, they thought I am trying to do a man's job and that I may not do it right. Yup, I was unfairly judged. But now, I am given the chance to prove I can do a man's job!

I do hope I'll be able to work out my worries on this time of another transition in my life. I was able to do it 4 years ago when I tried Software Engineering, I hope I can do it again now. My fingers are crossed...

Feeling: excited
