Hello, read.cash friends! How are you all? I am happy to be here again with you.

Last January, I was pressured by my uncle to take Civil Service Examination because they said they will help me get a slot in the government office. they still have friends there thus they will be able to recommend me to get the job.

I have even written about it because at that time, I was having doubts, the feelings are mixed and I also have self-doubt. Also, I fear that I would get discouraged and depressed if I fail the exam.

Just last month, read about some people taking CSExams and was hoping that they would pass. I even found out that this coming March 2023, another exam will be held so I got eager to take it. It would not matter if I would pass or not but I would definitely try. I know it's worth trying for and it will not harm me even.

I decided to review

Because of my tight schedule, I will not be able to enroll in review centers so the plan was to have a self-review.

I downloaded several PDF documents about the reviews but it was hard! Somehow, I forgot about the lessons I had way back at school; My brain got rusty, lol! But the good thing is that there are tutorials on youtube and I had to learn every bit of them.

CSE covers Mathematics: fractions, mixed numbers, mathematical equations, problem-solving, age problems, English: grammar, paragraph arrangement, verbal reasoning, finding errors, Filipino, Philippine constitution, current events, logic, abstract reasoning, and more.

Now I am starting from scratch, I am supposed to focus on the review but I seem to spend more time on social media. my mind is already divided into work, motherhood, and my physical job, and this review are pulling up my plate even more.

But still. March is still a long way ahead; I still have until December to file the application for the examination. there are many people waiting for fo that activity so I bet it will be hard to get a slot and of course, the examination itself will be hard.

But the question is that am I serious about this?

I know I should be because it will help brighten my and my family's future; not that my current job is not paying well: I was thinking not just about the salary but the pension when I retire. It will be my kid's assurance in college, and I guess every parent is thinking about that.

I am also thinking that if I get lucky and get a slot in the government office, I will only be working 5 days a week and I will have more time to spend with my family and blogging.

There are lots of pros and cons to this move of mine, I know that I have to sacrifice for this, including the time that I have to spend writing articles and I hope it will be worth it.

First step first

It is said that the journey to thousand miles begins in the first step so I will be taking mine, even if I will be slow to take the pace.

I hope I could survive the first step so I could proceed to the next the following more steps.

Now I am praying for guidance, knowledge, and wisdom from above because studying is vain without it. hope God will bless it for me.

This will be all for today, I hope you enjoy my article and keep safe everyone
