Tough times don't last, tough people do

As we nose dive into this new year, let us remember the ups and downs of last year. To be honest, last year sucked. It sucked big time. And no, not being a pessimist here but, really tho. Despite sucking so hard, it was a year filled with change. A year that is constantly changing, the people I meet, the people I work with, the people I get close to, the people who left me. On hindsight, it was probably one of the biggest whirlwind of a year I've ever had. So instead of focusing on the negatives, I'll just list some of the things I'm grateful for in 2013.

1) Getting a full time job as an AED
     This is probably one of the things that I was so excited for. All those countless emails I've sent to those at MOE recruitment. There was actually a time where I actually just stopped worrying cause I gave up, I didn't hear from them for so long I guess there's no point hoping anymore. Then that phone call came and yup, I got the job.

2) Being a band instructor
     Ever since I joined band back in secondary 2, I've always loved learning and teaching music/instruments to people. I guess it's the joy of seeing people being able to make music and share the love of music. Being a band instructor opened up my eyes to a world full of hope and love. Up till now I miss teaching them, seeing their faces light up as I walked into class. But I'm sure they're in safe hands. I will try to make time to come back just to see them. And also there's the band that has become my family from my 1 year teaching there. I really wish to see them again soon.
