Hello everyone!
It's me again. Guess this was another day of sharing and posting stuff for everyone to read. Seems like the habit of writing is improving here. So moving on, last night I posted about my confusions on my cycle of friendships. If you haven't read about it yet, you may check my profile and check on it.
For todays' blog, I will share to everyone the story of my life as a working student. This might had been the most challenging thing I have in my life since I really need to balance my work and academics day by day. Not to mention that I'm also a student leader, a dancer and a singer at the same time so that factor also matters especially if I need to perform.
At first, I really don't see myself in this situation because I know so far that I have the freedom to choose whether to just stop schooling and just work or the other way around. However, I'm bounded by the willingness to graduate and at the same time, to provide for my needs and for my family. Until now, that is the reality I would never accept because at an early age, I was doomed to stand with the obligations that my parents had failed to do.
I started working in the BPO industry last 2020 and that was the start of COVID. I was forced to stop school for two years since I'm really not complaisant about the situation and since it also affected our livelihood. I put myself in a situation that I thought I can easily pull out but I was wrong. I was forced to let myself be burdened of the work life and leave my studies for two years. That two whole years is okay though since my focus is just on working.
Year 2022 when I decided to study and continue to pursue my dreams in a different course. At first, it was fine. Attending class from a 2-3 hours sleep is just fine. As long as the school schedule does not conflict with the work schedule then its' fine. It was frustrating. Knowing the fact that your energy is not fully charged yet you need to rise up from the bed with lack of sleep because you knew you can only count on to the decision you've hold on to.
Well, I do have some times that I take a break from both just to let myself feel that it's not all about it all the time. I also have me but still, it doesn't erase the fact that it's still the same situation you'll live on to. I almost lost myself a lot of times and thought of giving up one of the factors affecting my life. But deep down I know. That no matter how tired I am or restless, I still wanna go on. No matter how many times I say yes to any activities and tires myself afterwards, I still wanna continue.
I know I still have a lot to endure now as I'm a student leader, a call center agent, a dancer and a singer. However, I believe that I can and shall do succeed in the end. I believe that I can wear that toga on that special day and say how thankful I am for not giving up.
I can share to everyone as well my daily routine in both factors of my life but that shall be on my next blog. I will be happy to share it here. That's it for today everyone! Hope to see you again on my next blog. God bless us all!
