First of all, I really hope people are reading my blog because I'm kind of putting my heart into it as of the moment. I really am trying to be as level-headed and mature as I can be so reading this blog will be worth your while.
For those who are already reading it, aside from me, well, let me just say thanks, indulge, and
"Let me entertain you"i hope you find my rather plain, exciting life entertaining.Anyways, indeed, it's haunting me now. Almost a month ago, I conducted a seminar in Sports writing to a class of communications arts majors, talk about authourity with the subject, huh? It was great though, I managed to write a speech so it was organized and I was applauded at the end of it. The open forum came after and one girl asked me, because it seemed that I really had the passion for writing, she asked me, now that I'm looking for a job, will I give up journalism for any other career? And candidly, or not candidly, this is what I told her:
"As of now, I'm not ready to give up on my dream just yet. Writing is my passion and I want to further pursue it as a career. Right now, I want to be a journalist. Believe me it's so hard to get in that line of job. There are a lot of openings in marketing, call centers, but I don't want to give up just yet. I don't want to be a sellout, and that's what I wanna do for my life."Said like a true-blue La Sallian, don't you think? I was so proud of myself after saying that. If only someone had videotaped that, I would've ran for a copy. And it's haunting me now. Because I have just finished my final interview at a big company, as a part of communications staff. It's not that I don't like the job there, I'm actually considering it. Because I'd still get to be a journalist (semi nga lang). I'm not lying when I tell you that the job is rather interesting, it's in the Human Resources department. I really considered getting the job, of course, if they'll be willing to offer me a hefty starting salary. But whenever people ask me, "Gusto mo na ba talaga diyan?" It bothers me tha I can't really say yes. Not wholeheartedly, not even half. And so, I think I wasn't my best a while ago. It was the final interview, yet my heart wasn't into it like the previous ones. So now, I'm really confused. If I managed to pass my final interview, and they offered me a job that is quite big for a fresh grad, will I accept it?Still not sure, I'm considering it right now.But more than that, I'm hoping to get in at this company that I have been dreaming to be working at my entire life. Well, given my academic background, some would say I would not have enough knowledge with the job, writing in English and all sorts of things, but let me just say, that this is my dream job. And this is my first love. I have dreamed of working there my entire life! and now I have the chance to turn my dreams into reality.Guys, pray for me. I really, really want this job. I will do my best to prove to them how badly I want it. And of course, I know that I am well fit for this company. I have been reading their magazine forever! Their first editor in chief was responsible for this drive that I have.and so the bottomline is, I have been given a chance to get my lifelong dream. I will grab it, and God-willing, I WILL HAVE IT.
another adventure for COSMOGIRL!
