sacrifice...

i have been teaching in college from 2000 to present.. seems like forever.. at first, i really enjoyed teaching. i loved the people i worked with! yeah, i really do! then, there were so many changes.. suddenly, the most of the people i work with are gone. others went to other departments, while the others, resigned and moved on. and the rest... well, i hope they were not fired. i don't know but when the environment in our office suddenly changed, i don't feel that happy anymore. i mean, i am happy when i am in the class because i am with the people that i truly care for--my students. but i am no longer comfortable in our office. i have been thinking about leaving my work for quite some time now and i have finally made up my mind.. i will be starting a new life after this semester! i am not leaving teaching for good but i will no longer teach full time. i plan to relocate. i have always wanted to leave near the beach and that's what i am going to do. start a new life, take care of my grandmother while she's in the philippines and establish additional businesses. this will mean that i have to leave my parents here in the city, coz my younger sister is still in elementary but it's okay coz we won't really be very far away from each other. this will also mean that i will not be seeing some of my friends for quite some time but again, it's okay coz they could always visit me and we could still party. besides, they would love the idea that they could go to the beach without having to rent an expensive cottage! there are so many things that i have to sacrifice but i believe this is for the best. i don't think that i will ever leave teaching because it's something that i really love. i can always do that in one way or another. the world will never run out of schools right? but i just think it's about time for me to be in a not-so-new but better environment. i think that is how people are... constantly searching for what will make them truly happy.
