That Pink Uniform

I was scrolling on Facebook in search for something good to the eyes. Those things like different posts about food, funny videos, memes and posts about job hirings. Yes, I am always looking for them on Facebook. This afternoon, a post from a teacher gave me the enthusiasm to love my profession again as I am slowly losing my faith on it. Due to the pandemic I guess, the hiring of new teachers is not that needed as of these times especially it's still distant learning and the number of enrollees are not that high as before when it was still face to face. I already passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers and got my license to teacher. However, this is not a guarantee that we will be hired to teach in public schools. There are still complex process that we need to go through like taking the English Proficiency Test, gathering all the pertinent documents and having the demonstration and ranking. After those, we still need to wait for months for the result.

The results were released, and I passed. I belong to the Registry of Qualified Applicants which means I am on the list of applicants who received a total score of seventy points or higher based on the criteria and as a consequence of the selection process. In short, I have higher chance to be hired than those who don't belong. But, it doesn't stop there and I should not be confident about it. I don't want to write the other side of the selection process you will not like it.

So yeah. I almost forgot teaching and thought of something else for I have been waiting for more than a year. Honestly, I already thought of letting the dream go and just find another path for me wherein I don't have to wait because I really wanted to have a stable job now. I missed a lot of job hiring opportunities because I can't get into jobs wherein there is a contract for I cannot leave there and then when the Department of Education will call me.

That's why I applied for an online teaching temporarily because I can leave when the job I am waiting is already there.

Teaching online made me forget about my profession and my application for it. Being here in read.cash and earning made me happy as well though I wasn't hired still.

Going back to the Facebook post, I saw a post of a teacher who's wearing a complete uniform. It was a pink one paired with black slacks. In that post, she was on her way to distribute the learning modules to the students. It was raining and the road was wet and muddy. But, she still go through for the students. I was touched by her dedication and passion being a teacher. Then I realized that my heart truly desires teaching. Seeing the teacher wearing that pink uniform brought back the dream that was almost forgotten.

I think of my family especially my grandma who really wanted me to become a professional teacher. They did everything just to send me to school and now I already finished schooling, it was my time to give back.

I messaged my friend @Murakamii.7 about the Facebook post and told her that I really wanted to wear that pink uniform of teachers. She told me maybe that's a sign that I will receive a call from the DepEd and that I will be hired. I wish that too!

I just hope I will be hired before this year ends. I know God will give me this too for I want to wear that Pink Uniform. 😂
