“My Story - Part 2”
Episode 2
I converted the balcony at the rear of the house into home office. From the office I could see sun rise, and hear bird chirping in the morning. With the sliding windows open, the cool fresh morning air charged up my brain battery every morning to last the whole day.
It was just amazing that I could switch between computer software development and real estate marketing without any problem.
One afternoon, my brain seemed to go on strike. It went blank, and I had to take a break. During this time, I queried myself what I should do with all the knowledge in my brain and my interesting life experience; I had no children to pass on and it would be a waste to bury the valuable assets locked in my head six-foot under when I kicked the bucket.
There was one career I could undertake, that is to become a teacher. I retrieved The Age from the previous weekend and checked through the classified advertisements. Lo and behold, there was a small advertisement from a Tafe in Warntina looking for a sessional teacher proficient in Microsoftffice.
I removed large sections of my resume, except the part that I was a programmer. I started with only 2 hours teaching Access in the evening. Many people were unfamiliar with Access, let alone taught the subject.
Thank you for reading.
