A sad piece of news has also floated into my mind this week. It finally hit me that my contract at work is ending in a few months! This means that I may or may not get to continue what I love to do in the near future. Many people may think that this is a good thing because it gives me an opportunity to do other things or perhaps focus on school, but to me, this news is rather bitter than sweet. I love my job. To me, it is not only a place to make a living or to improve my skills, but it is a place where I can let go of my worries and do something that can have an impact on people. Over the years at my job, I've had the chance to connect with many people, from coworkers, to managers, to the customers I help. Each person has a significant impact on my life. My coworkers are like my brothers and sisters. They've helped me learn so much about the business and about the field I love. They are the people who always had my back and were always there to support me in times when I needed them the most. My managers are my mentors and perhaps even my parents. They are not only a role model to me, but they have nourished me to become the person I am today, whether that be in a professional setting or in daily life. And how can I not forget my customers or clients! They are the people whom I've helped over the years reach their goals and/or guide them in the right direction to solve their problems, which had previously given them stress. Ironically, they are also the people who allow me to think back to my own life and give me advice for succeeding in the future. The people I work with are my family, and as cliche as this may sound, my work is my life.
This week, I am lost. Where will I be in the future? What is my future going to look like in a few months? Will I be separated from my wonderful family? These are questions, I have yet to answer. Hopefully I will get to stay at my job and spend time with them. Hopefully, I can continue what I love to do, to help people with my knowledge and skills.
