Growing up is when you realized that teaching will never give you financial freedom. Maybe I was too idealistic about the teaching profession that I swore to die for it but now my views has changed. It's a condemnation. I'm glad that as early as this, I have realized the truth about it. If you want to live your life for free and live without debts, teaching will not guarantee to give you that success. It's in fact the opposite. Now I understand why others leave the profession, I used to think they don't have the passion but when you dig deeper how the system works especially the government, now I understand and I feel pity for them. It's nice to have a passion for something but when the system is unjust, you have to let go the passion and look for the greener pasture. It takes courage to forge your own path, but at least yours is a just one. And when I'll make it, I'll be the candle for others and help them find theirs too.

It's sad because the whole countries future relies on the teachers, the education of the new generations. The responsibility and importance of teachers should be valued more, also in a monetary way...
I wish that's how the world works.
