Right-ness

I am an applicant to become a Mathematics teacher in a secondary public school. This year I tried to be included in the RQA (Registry of Qualified Applicants). And luckily, among my peers (Mathematics major) and area of assignment (Bulan), I am on the 5th spot.

Seems easy.

Compared to what others had experienced, it is.

Early this school year, I had the chance to be employed as a substitute teacher. For me that was brought to pass by a power beyond anyone’s control. I know there were people who moved so that my name will be considered. And to them, I am greatly thankful.

I have no connection with people in high places. And I made a resolve not to use any dubious means to get employed. I want it in a way that the legitimacy of my employment will be beyond question.

I guess, many will say I am in for a long wait. It somehow scares me.

But I do believe that Right is Might. I do believe in the power of Goodness.

Each of the applicants desire a good paying job. And with today’s circumstances, some of us might be in a more pitiful condition. It will prick my conscience to steal anything that rightly belong to someone else.

I know that God has His own timetable. This declaration does not mean that I don’t feel discouraged. I do. Many times. But I trust that I may not see the wisdom beyond what I can comprehend now, someday, I will.

God has a way of doing things. And He is good ALL THE TIME.

your best life now

this is one of the best audio books i had ever heard. i don’t belong to joel osteen’s congregation. but the piece of mind he had shared in this book are worth listening to by everyone.

the goal may not be new – keep hope alive! still, he is able to deliver each idea in a wonderful touching way.

the good and the real reason

we do that all the time. decisions involve good and real reasons. the good is for everyone to hear. the phrase “in good faith” comes out of it. the real is what our inner selves hear.

why did i left bulan in the 1^st place? i did forget why. manila had blurred my recollection. my struggles in the city hid the bitter reason for my flight. now that i am back they are slowly resurfacing again.

the good reason why i left was because i was looking for a bigger and better opportunities. manila could provide that.

the real reason was i don’t wanna be eaten up by the system.

government teaching posts are held by persons in power. it does not matter how academically an applicant excels. the important thing is “who do you know?”. that was the condition of the times when i decided to leave.

4 years of absence. was there a change?

the other day, i chanced to talk with a school administrator and she posed the very same old question. “why those who she thinks are deserving get knocked off by those whose abilities are questionable?”

your guess is as good as mine.
