into where it started...
Yesterday, I walked into Pathlight since I left some 2 years ago. I went in to fetch my student out for tuition.
Of all persons, the first person I met on the way in was Denise. She was driving out. We waved at each other, she stopped her car and I went to shake her outstretched hands *think... Thank you for voting for us...".
Anyway, when I told her of my 2 years shuttling between different employers, and then, my conclusion that corporate is not for me, she laughed and said, "Ya lah, you and your ideals lah..."
*think... talk about ideals! She's in politics ye! All those advocation for efforts for people with special needs...
She offered to gladly take me back should I ever want to work in the school again. It was a very nice thing to say. Really. But, no. I think I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing now.
When I was giving tuition at the void deck just outside the school, I met many xcolleagues who were on their way to the bus stop. Caught up with most of them.
Honestly, it's really nice. Most of us don't get the time to catch up much at all, over the past 2 years. But, when we met yesterday, it felt like the two years were a mere 2 days. These are people I've really enjoyed working with, learning together, whining and complaining together and most of all, having fun with, in spite of it all.
Like it or not, it's true. It was a transformational journey. And Kay only having been a part of it. Just a part, not the whole.
It has started to be easier for the past to be left behind recently.
