Career: Money and Needs against Passion

Per-nal

Zerayn D.

Balancing personal fulfillment with practicality can be a delicate dance, but one worth perfecting. I may not have found the ultimate passion in my current career. It was not my first choice of study when I started university. My parents did not agree with my career list that I wanted to pursue. However, I have made a conscious effort to approach my work with dedication. I am committed to my role. It is a challenge to love what you do not want to do. With determination and a positive mindset, I strive to find purpose and satisfaction in my chosen path.

First, I would consider becoming a painter. It is a passage to reinvent and imagine my real world. I can rearrange it into a world that allows me to articulate survival in an egalitarian society.

Next, scribbling and ascribing have always been a great interest. Like painting, I can make a whole new world through artistic written language. I can rewrite history; I can change the dark past and remove the villainous characters I have encountered in life. I can also re-structure that place I once called home. I can change who I am.

Finally, I’d remain a teacher 😅. Simply, it does not make me rich but it makes me grow in knowledge and character. I can literally work and play at the same time. I can relive my childhood in it. Most significantly, a teacher can help  make other dreams come true. 💞
