"One Year As A Lecturer..."

Can you believe it? it's been a year!

Since I left my life as an engineer,

365 days i have been working here,

And loving each minute of my career,

Never want this to disappear,

Cheers to a year, of my lecturing premier...

Looking back into the past,

How i am glad it did not last,

Long enough as a lonely outcast,

In a place called home, where misery trespassed...

As i stepped foot in a strange new place,

Grew 1000 worry lines on my face,

I did not know how to start off my pace,

There were unknown faces, one of each race,

Do they know about my life of disgrace?

Was this another suckiness I have to embrace?

In my old life, working in construction,

I had lived everyday getting lost in depression,

Took a deep breath, this won't be another destruction,

It was time to make an awesome first impression!

My first few classes were a pile of misery,

How evil and cruel those students were to me,

But as i learned this is not even my story,

It's their time to shine, to live, to study,

All I should do is lead them to what they could be,

With love, with a heart full of sincerity...

Now when I look back at my old days,

Oh how i wish to change it in so many ways,

The sadness and hopelessness my life potrayed,

Will be forgotten, won't be replayed...

In this new life, I found life and love,

But not the kind you wished from the above,

I found life as lecturer has its own little beauty,

The stresses are worth it, found my therapy,

I found friendship and hugs, laughter and tears

Raise your glass for today, and the upcoming years ;)
