it was on the cards to write, and the title is apt to my writing, because....
for the past almost 4 years I had a goal. A goal to teach and to travel and I've worked towards that, even though it's been mega difficult....I've still kept going, I still am going because I've got a point to prove, and that's that I'm not entirely useless, lazy or stupid. Ok, I'm quite a lot of those things, but not completely. I do have some drive in me, although minimal!!
I no longer want to teach....if I were to teach I'd become a dictator, I'd restrict the freedom of thought/action of many individuals....I'd even expect them to act, think and talk in a language that isn't their own...how wrong is that?!
I wait for the day that all children are taught is how to read, write and do basic maths. There is a whole world on the internet and it's possible to learn anything....I'd happily be just a facilitator to those people, just give them a nudge of encouragement every now and then, or explain the odd word or two, but I don't want to dictate.....
As many people like to point out to me, teaching is a job that will always be there, which is true when you come to think of how many jobs are disappearing....but I don't want to do it...I will find a job doing something else....I no longer care if I'm pushing paper....all I want is to be out of the house for a few hours each day...giving something back to my parents....and saving up to do a postgraduate course in a years time at my current university....I'm going into cultural events management....and that is what I will do :)
