Perkongsian: Saya dan kerjaya 2

Menjadi seorang pendidik bukanlah merupakan suatu kerjaya yang pernah saya idam2kan sangat sedari zaman mengaji di bangku pengajian.

Namun, setelah hampir dua tahun berkhidmat sebagai pegawai di salah sebuah bank di ibu kota, hasrat untuk beralih angin semakin meluap-luap dan membara dalam diri dan jiwa saya.

Dan langkah peralihan arah tersebut juga tidak semudah menyebut ABC ataupun menyelak lembaran baru sebuah buku, kerana ia berkaitan dengan periuk nasi saya dan keluarga juga 'keluarga baru yang bakal saya lalui' di masa hadapan.

"Greater the risk, the greater will be the return" 

Pencarian haluan sebenar kerjaya yang saya minati dan kerjaya yang I would say, I've passion with it telah melalui pelbagai tapisan dan pengamatan serta deeper consideration sebelum saya benar2 berani untuk melangkah ke episode baru, dan bukan sehari dua baru saya nak tercari-cari. Sedari dari zaman SPM lagi saya telah mula meraba-raba hati dan keinginan serta based on my own capabilities towards, what I would like to see my self in 5 to 10 years time in the future. 

It's not that saya ini jenis yang tidak berani mengambil risiko, bukan. It's just, I need to wait for, and have the patience for the right time and the right moment to come. I knew it would come. Doa dan pengharapan pada Nya tidak putus2 agar dikurniakan masa dan saat itu.

And I would say, my patience was paid off. Alhamdulillah.

Just before I leave my house for work that Thursday 19 of December 2013, afternoon, I've received one important phone call that would determine my future career. Could it be a new episode in my life, a new journey I supposed? A phone call from HR of USIM. Alhamdulillah.

As I end the phone call, I knew that this day would have come sooner or later. An interview session was set place a week after the call. An interview for a graduate scholarships program where the scholarship holders will gain a benefit of being sponsored for the whole journey of getting their Masters and PhD done be it locally or abroad as well as getting their position secured after getting back from studies, as a lecturer there in USIM (even though they said, it depends on the vacancies, I knew that insyaAllah there will be plenty of vacancies). 

Travelling ke ofis dengan KTM Duke 200 saya pada tengahhari tu terasa amat lain. Berlegar2 diminda, I knew that I have to score this. I have to win this fight to secure my position as the fellowship holder.   

Dan Alhamdulillah, tanggal 9 January 2014, saya menerima panggilan telefon sekali lagi dari pihak HR mengesahkan bahawa saya telah berjaya dalam sesi temuduga tersebut dan diterima sebagai Felo Graduate USIM dan meminta saya untuk mengambil surat rasmi tersebut di pejabat HR USIM. Alhamdulillah.





Bertitik tolak daripada situ, saya terus mempersiapkan diri untuk mengambil risiko yang sangat besar boleh saya katakan dalam lembaran hidup saya ketika itu, iaitu menyerahkan surat berhenti kerja, submitting my resignation letter. 

Yet it is all His work. Allah's plan. We plan and Allah also plan. And indeed His plan was the best plan ever for me. 

After tendering my resignation, I knew that this is not gonna be easy for me as I have few commitments financially however as a risk taker, I knew that the action taken was the right one and that would results in a greater return in the future. 

And as for now, I've been offered by the  Head of the my program, Dr. M to fill in a slot as a part time lecturer here in USIM and currently I'm teaching a course, Computational Techniques in Mathematics offered for the second year students of the Faculty of Science and Technology. 


Meanwhile this is just a part time lecturer, I've offered myself to quite a number of tuition center as to fill in my free time while there is no class at the faculty. 

Sekadar untuk mengisi masa lapang dan mencari duit poket lebih as well as menimba pengalaman sebagai seorang pendidik. After all, I would become a lecturer eventually after comeback from my studies which expected to be started this Fall term (September 2014).

InsyaAllah, hujung Ogos nanti, saya akan mengembara ke bumi Allah, Amerika Syarikat. Boston University is where I will get my MSc in Actuarial Science insyaAllah. 

Selama dua tahun di sana nanti, pastinya pelbagai kisah menarik yang akan saya kongi kan bersama blog ini atau pun di My Wordpress which is currently still under construction.

Until then, that's it for now.

Wallahua'lam
