So I have been offered to take my advanced diploma in oncology this year by God's grace :) Why did I accept it? Because that is sort of the only way to achieve my degree(with free education) and then ultimately reach my dream.
So what's my dream again? To run a nursing home for all the ah gongs and ah mas. Just that. I don't yearn for fame or money or power.
Was called into my manager's room and she started telling me that I should get involved in projects in the hospital despite being away for studies. She said that I needed to build up my resume for my degree application in the future. Of course I know it's never easy to get what I want. She is really helping me. I will work hard. I do not mind having meetings and all, and I always love mixing with people from different departments.
Then, she started comparing myself with the other prominent people. I then realise it's as if I have to fight to be known, and to prove that I'm smart (which I am totally not). Kinda reminds me of the 9pm show... Where I have to step up my game to be ahead of my colleagues.
Can I just be myself? :/ Getting involved in stuff because I want to. Contributing ideas because I want things to improve. Represent my organisation because I am proud to be part of it.
Ok, that's enough senseless ranting for now...
