I Am Certain, I Am Sure

After a long process of trying to decide whether to take up psychology, social work or finish up with my major and try to get a certification so that I can finally teach here in the US, I have finally decided to do the latter. You see, my major is Social Science which is very broad. Under it is World History, Geography, all histories (Philippines, Asian) and Political Science. Unfortunately, the learning that I got is concentrated more on the Philippines/Asia that is the reason why I need to go back to school and learn about American History and American politics and other social science related subjects if I want to teach here. Since I am done with the education part of the degree it shouldn’t take that long for me (hopefully). I wish I had thought of this sooner but I was afraid to teach again but after seeing my son, my desire to be with kids emerged once more and now I have decided that it is what I am going to do and this is what I want to do. I also thought that I will waste a lot of time if I have to start all over again with psychology and social work. Ryan is helping me start with the financial part of the process this week but this time I want to talk to someone in the college/university that I am going to. I don’t want it to be like before where I just submitted my papers and that's about it. I want to sit down with someone like the dean perhaps and lay down everything so that we will have a plan so that I know exactly what the subjects that need to get done and how many credits I need to complete it. I will definitely enroll myself with English/composition classes (if it is not required) to refresh myself again. It’s been a while and I am sure I have fallen behind.

This time I am determined and certain that this is what I would like to do. I thank God for Ryan who is so ever supportive of me. So help me God because I am doing this not only for myself but also for my family.

*Special thanks to my friend Jenny who have given me the options and kind of help me opened my eyes. She is a surveyor engineer in the Philippines who used to work for the United Nations and now currently finishing her degree to become a nurse. She told me that if she could bring back time she could have taken the subjects that was related to what she finished in the Philippines so that she doesn't have to go through all of this but she has already started it. She is very intelligent and very optimistic that is what I admire in her so much.*
