Never to Late for a New Adventure!
Before I embarked on my journey to Australia to pursue a career in Early Childhood Education and Care, I was deeply immersed in managing my family's business back home. Despite having all the material comforts and stability, I couldn't shake the feeling that something essential was missing from my life.
With a degree in Business under my belt, I eagerly applied my knowledge and skills to our family business. While the business flourished and expanded over the years, a sense of disillusionment began to creep in. What had once been a fulfilling endeavor gradually lost its allure, prompting me to question my path and aspirations.
As the pressure to fulfill my responsibilities mounted, I experienced several mental breakdowns, torn between the expectations placed upon me as my parents' daughter and my desire to carve out my own path and pursue my true passion.
The burden of familial obligations and the internal conflict between duty and personal fulfilment weighed heavily on my shoulders, prompting a re-evaluation of my goals and aspirations for the future.
Fast forward, an opportunity presented itself when a friend shared insights on obtaining a student visa.
Encouraged by her advice, I seized the chance without hesitation. Three months later, my visa was approved, and I can confidently say that it was the best decision I have ever made.
One of the greatest lessons this experience has taught me is that it is never too late to start a new.
