A Visitor's Point of View
For the first time since my resignation, I went back to my old working place: Vision English Learning Center. Funny how everything seemed the same, yet so different. For one, I wasn't a teacher any longer. As a matter of fact, one of my ex-colleagues talked to me in passing while I stared at her while holding back my laugh. She suddenly stopped and stared at me, shocked. Hahaha! :)
Everything was the same, Teachers David and Maria in their respective group class rooms. The myriad of voices and murmurs from the cubicles. A laugh here, a shout there. The same old whirring of the fans and the air conditioners. It got me thinking, "I was once part of this". But now, it's different. A sense of nostalgia passed through me as I watched some of the students who were my students before. Some have become good friends. And of course, I will never forget my dear co-teachers who were very good "Ates" to me.
Out of curiosity, I went inside while
everybody was still having class. I sneaked in (with permission from the secretary) and checked if my former room was occupied.
I don't know why but a sense of relief came over me when I saw it wasn't occupied yet. I stealthily (hahaha) went out and resumed waiting for my former boss.
Most of the people were very suprised that I was back in Vision. Some students even asked when I will teach again. I only went there to get my last salary.
So, everything today was from a visitor's point of view. The same old feeling, the same environment, but then, things have changed ever since I stepped out for the last time as a teacher.
The pictures posted were taken on April 8, my official last day in Vision. I couldn't bring myself to take pictures with everybody. I hate goodbyes and this was one chapter I had to bring myself to before I could go on with my life. Life in Vision was good, but I know there's something out there for me, something that God has planned beforehand. I can feel it :)
So, Big Guy, where am I headed next? :)
