I used to have an ambition that my mom was totally against. I wanted to be an air stewardess and see the world for free. My mind was all set up to lead the jet-set life and be the SIA girl that I always see on television.
Of course at a tender age of nine, I wanted to be a lot of things as well. I wanted to be a teacher, a lawyer, a dentist and even a medical assistant like a nurse for example. The last one nearly became true after I finished my “A” levels exams and did not quite managed to make it to university. I was searching for career options and somehow at that time medical assistant programs were the rage. Everyone I knew was taking it and medical assistant careers are an honorable one. I thought my path was set. I started looking at medical assistant training programs available and started to fill up the application form until.. my mom stepped in. Again that path was stunted. She did not want me to be nurse and that was it. Now I was and still am, a very obedient daughter so that was it.
I took up a secretarial course and that was the start of a wonderful career that I will not exchange for anything else. As always mom knows best.
Cheerio…
