A certain someone from 1989
If you had sat down for coffe with me a few weeks ago, I would have told you that one my current worries / thoughts was my trepidation in entering the working world. Quiet honestly.. I am a tough cookie but entering the workforce is something foreign to me. I have volunteered, worked part-time / even full time and dealt with the working world a lot but building a career is different. I have faith but I have fears too.
Back in the early 1990s, it was really cool to celebrate your birthday at MacDonalds and you get to invite all your friends. I am sure it was Victoria who invited me to her birthday ( and my sister too ! ) and I invited her to mine a few months later. Victoria and I started Grade one together in the year 1989. She was in the same class as I was first year of school and she was in my class again as we finished off secondary school. We ended up as classmates for 6 years ( out of 10) at IJ.
Two days ago, she found me on friendster and I found out more about the latest happenings and 'gossips' with her life..
This girl, Victoria, she has always seemed more 'daring' ( might not be the perfect word to use here ) than I am. She was one of the only 3 girls in my class who opted to take History instead of A.Mathematics. She was one of the first among my friends to enter the workforce, get married and now she is a proud mother of a very beautiful baby.

I figured that life doesn't always go as plan, I can never 'prep' myself for the working world, office politics, getting married, to be a good wife, be a good mother, daughter, daughter-in-law... grandmother ( and the list goes on.. ) but I know at least that there are sooo many girls out there who is in the same position as I am and ready to take on the world ? Vicky did it.. I am sure I will manage.....Victoria, Thanks for the thoughts, and subtle inspiration to me and maybe to the 4 Arts 4 of 98 !
( is this part where I say, I came, I saw, I conquered ? Ha Ha Ha....)
