The Thought Never Crossed My MInd

I never thought that I would be a teacher . I am not an ambitious person , I did fairly okay in school . I have had failures along the way but I seem to resurfaced from the bottomless pit and I went on . I was never appraised for anything I did or have done in school . My teachers never paid any attention to me or maybe they thought that I was a waste of time and not worth the time . I don't know and i never asked or even tried to find out either .
I remembered when my teacher asked me what I wanted to be when I left school , I could not give her an answer . My ambition, went from a policewoman , fire fighter , etc, etc ,etc but I never thought that I would teach and be a teacher . Even when I left school , I was uncertain of what was to become of me . One thing is for sure , I enjoyed art in school very much . I did quite well in this area . So it was decided then that I was to enroll for a Graphic Design course .
Now , at this stage, I had no idea what is / was Graphic Design . I just went head on with it . As I began my journey in college , it got tougher and tougher . No one said it was easy . First year went on okay till I reached the third year and finally , it was time to graduate . well , it was nothing to shout about my graduation . All I knew was ,that I had to attend the ceremony and receive my diploma . I was excited however , I felt deep down in my heart that "this " was not my calling . Something is missing ( before graduation , I was working in a kindy ). Even when I worked in an office , it was not the same . I hated working in an office . It was no fun at all . Okay , okay working in an office was not suppose to be fun right ? Wrong !!! That was what I thought . For six months I was beside myself , trying to .... just shout or do something just so I could "get out" but I just didn't know how to .
I decided to quit . I ran like hell away from the office job . I went back to teach . It was fun and I was smiling again . I never forgot my mum . She did not say or do anything ..... she cried when I told her that I wanted to be a teacher . As upset as she was , she let me be . I went every single day to work and continued working in the kindy for the next thirteen years and today she says proudly to me that her wish was for one of us to be a teacher . She understood why I had to do it . I did for me to be happy and she has seen what I have accomplised . Thanks mum and dad .
