Being Somebody

A lot of things have happened in the past month or so.

This morning, for one, a friend (Junaidah Mustafa) passed away due to a swollen heart. She left behind her husband and 6 children the youngest is 9.

Last week we went for a Mock Interview & Career Talk session with our juniors at school, to prepare them for scholarship interviews.

Then there's the World Cup finals & my friends organised a big screen viewing. With lots of food. And great company, which was overall great.

Just now at 8pm a person forwarded to me a photo of someone from my past. Mr Ex's cousin- she became the guest speaker for this annual event for graduates seeking employment. And I checked out her credentials on trusted Mr Google. Great. She has made something for herself. Am trying to be happy for her and at the same time mourning a little the choices that I have made.

Whatever it is, my choices have led me here.

Here.

Today.

I am now someone at a crossroads. What do I do?

[Haven't I been asking that question for too long now?]

What are my career options?

I am pretty good in teaching.
However I have not written many papers that will merit me worthy of academia.

I am very good in drafting agreements (better than I teach I might say).
However I have left the legal field far too long.

I am still improving in writing.
Is it now time to take a shot?

Who do I want to be and How do I get there?

Let's do something about this & forget moping around.
It is not helping anybody & especially not YOU.
