Re: advise please.
Just like everyone said… I’d definitely encourage you to stick to it… being in the teaching profession myself, I can still remember how difficult preparing for that very first class is… looking back now, its been 5 years and it all seems routine – its best not to think of these issues as problems but just some initial snags that you will eventually leap over and clear in no time inshaAllah.
W.R.T. the family being one of the off-putting causes, I guess we all go through it at one time or another. Allow me to narrate an incident that has kept me inspired through the time that I’ve been in school for my Bachelors, Masters and currently my Ph.D. … I had a friend who really really wanted to become a Civil Engineer… that’s all he ever wanted to do - but for some reason, folks in Pak thought of Civil Engineering as a trifling endeavour as compared to the likes of Electrical or Computer Engineering – so this guy gets into Electrical Engineering and graduates with flying colors, lands a couple of jobs with the best firms in the industry… just to show everyone what he’s capable of doing… and then gets back into school to complete his Civil Engineering degree. Obviously he spent about three more years in school than he should have, but in the end he managed to silence everyone who thought he was going for Civil Engineering just cuz he wasn’t capable of attaining a better degree.
I think people like my friend and people like you need to be commended cuz you dare to brazen out the social challenges in pursuit of something you believe you can do :k: :k:
