Assistant Lecturer???

It was a shock actually of me being an assistant lecturer. I have never thought about this before in my life that I would one day becoming a lecturer. My dream is always to be become a director because I have so much of ideas to share it out with all the people in this world. Time passes like a flash and I begin to miss acting. The "Actors" enjoys every moment on the stage, portraying a character when director only gets to either sit down on one of the audience chairs or standing by far watching his/her masterpiece. I want to act and I think it's time to get back on the stage, I'm not kidding!

Wearing the Graduation Look as an Assistant Lecturer

So here I am, as an assistant lecturer at a private college, carrying briefcase and assessing students. Wow, is it a dream or what? I have done freelancing in teaching Speech and Drama for kids, I have became a drama teacher for Fairview International School... but seriously I really like the new environment now, being a lecturer is not that bad. Despite all the workload, I still able to handle it as I am still doing what I like to do or teach. Something involves with theatre, something involves with TV yes! I feel really satisfy sharing what I learned in the pass to the kids and do my very best to train them to become a good and quality performer!

Nobody pressures me, but I admit I am someone that pressures myself. I feel that my journey didn't stop here. Building a castle is not easy, I keep reminding myself that you have to build lots of stable walls only you could build your dream castle. That's what I'm doing. Hopefully by the age of 28, I will achieve something. Something I dreamt of, something I wish of.

I still remember once I attended a teachers training workshop, there is a flash, crossing my mind saying " Gabbie, why are you here? Is this the place that you want to be? Is this the things that you want to do?" From that moment, things are very clear to me. I don't want to be an educator! But now I realized on something, perhaps it's the method, the culture, the environment at that time being makes me do not want to be a teacher. I feel difficult to communicate with other teachers because their subjects are not related to me. Topics, views and opinions are different. Plus, they are competing with each other on their skills and knowledge. They are NOT even open minded to other peoples thinking and views. THAT is not really healthy. 

But so far, I feel comfortable in this new company. Well, it's still only the third month for me so better not to judge so much. Lets give me a few more months to see how well things will go. I begin to sense pressure, but so far they are positive pressure so I am still fine :) Will update about my job progress later... What I wish is, I hope to grow with this company, it makes me a better educator and as a theatre activist too, also it helps the company to build up their entertainment arts programme! That's perfect!
