The Desire in Me

The job I got in 2001 was not what I had desired but I had to settle for it at that time. As the days went by, I pondered about my life, the job, my income and the challenges of being single.
One of those days, I sat down, wrote some poems and thought they were good. I was surprised I could write poems, but the poems I wrote subsequently made me feel my writing of poems was circumstantial.

While in the university (1991-1996), I wrote down some of my experiences and the lessons I learnt from them. It was not until I wrote the poems that writing for the public occurred to me. Between 2002 and 2004, I got too busy with a marketing job and so writing was put on hold.

I got a teaching job in October 2004 and by 2005; the desire to write was re-awakened. But I did not want to launch out as a writer without a writing course. As I browsed the World Wide Web, I found The Writers Bureau site. The content on the site inspired me the more, though I was not opportuned to enroll until November 2006. I expect the comprehensive course to harness my innate writing, help me identify the area of writing that I will excel in and also transform me into a published writer. Although I must confess that making out time for the course has been trying.

I want to write to impart positive attitudes to the next generation. I would not be everywhere, but my writings can go places that may even be unthinkable and make changes.

Finally, I foresee a time when I will retire from classroom teaching voluntarily and write full time.
