It’s a lazy afternoon everyone! As promised, I am going to pound this keyboard with the hope to share with you my thoughts on certain things and anything that goes under the sun. Let me reiterate that I dont want to brag anyone to like this piece. It’s my personal account and i demand a little respect for this. Nor I urge anyone to criticize this even if your intention is as genuine or as good as mine. Anyways, what I am going to share now is my journey towards fulfilling my dream and that is to become a PhD holder. I had plan this out a few years back when myself was drawn with so much vigor and enthusiasm that by the age of thirty, that elusive suffix three letters should now be placed next to my name. But sometimes things didn't turn out according to plans, as the old adage says. Mine was a matter of decision rather than fate. I decided to accept a responsibility whom I thought was going to be handled easily. I was WRONG. I accepted a position that demands time, effort and which requires mental agility because of the figures and numbers I have to deal with everyday. Not to mention the major decisions i have to make which may affect the whole institution. I struggled to balance my primary function as an instructor to that of a planning director which consumed three-forth of my working time. At the middle of the year, I was on the brink of giving up because of physical and mental exhaustion in trying to dispense my responsibilities. Time came when at the last quarter of this year, I was already losing my grip to come to office, hair starting to fall, and a waning enthusiasm were already manifested in me. That was the deciding point for me to end my struggle in that office. On January this year I have terminated my directorship to the University President. I have justified my reasons why i have to vacate my post and which he eventually accepted.
To be continued...
