Dear All
This is rather a nostalgic posting from my side! Lemme explain why.......
Whenever we utter the word "week end", we always take it to denote "laziness", "freaking out" and "relaxation".... right ? (May be some of you do purposeful things on sundays. I just meant people of my creed :-) !!)
Carrying a passion in teaching career, I have been trying to get a breakthrough to identify a "Scape Goat" Academy @ city - which is willing to give chance to a middle aged man with no practical experience (I mean myself) and with a deep longing to "some how" get started. I do have some experience in a limited way teaching to nears and dears - now and then - but am also fully aware about the challenges (rather opportunities) in teaching a group of students who are slightly intelligent (hence pursuing a professional course, right ?).
At last I found a gentleman who was empathetic to my plight and has offered me to join his team to take classes at his Academy. I in fact got in touch with him only on last Saturday who asked me to reach him on Monday to have a face to face discussion. More than him to have a look at my face, looking at the serenity and humility of this gentleman, I intuitively felt that my joining him (and his academy) is going to be a long term relationship. To begin with, he has assured me that I will have classes only during Sat and Sundays and will ensure that this will not disturb my other priorities.
I am in fact meeting him tomorrow to have a detailed discussion and to clarify on few practical aspects. Since I had planned to reach my parents home tomorrow, I have taken his consent to meet him at 9 AM en route.
Well, Perhaps many people of my category (with a flair to get into teaching profession) might have got into the same quite effortlessly at a much lesser age. It was peculiar in my case that I never took serious initiatives to satiate my passion which I have been holding within myself for more than a decade & has waited for circumstances to push me to get into the act. I will not be surprised that I could be the senior most (in terms of age) but the junior most (in terms of experience) in his band of faculties.....
In the vast AGANDAM, every peculiarity has its own deserving space and I don't feel odd about it at all !
Better late than never - as the age old saying says.....Right ?
I am convinced that - as I pick up experience in this area - my week ends are going to get busier and more busier and I am helplessly aware that the next two days are the last week ends for me and this life.....!!
Every jubilation / sense of achievement comes with a price tag with it.....Huh....??
