Over the past few months, my life has somewhat flipped from being a teacher to an academic administrator. I have now held the portfolio of university ranking and rating in my workplace. The job scope is not that bad at all. It is a new thing for me but I can swiftly cope with it. Juggling with multiple roles at the same time is quite taxing but in just a matter of time I managed. I have now met a lot of new people and learn to understand a lot about running a university. This has somewhat detached me from my first reporting department - the English Language Division. It is amazing to actually report to two different departments at the same time. Albeit the two demand my full commitment, I strongly believe I could perform in both. The English Language Division is always like a home. I must admit I have greatly grown in these past years and it is a sentimental feeling that I have with the English Language Department. However, for almost six month being away from home and looking at it from afar, I could see a lot of circumstances that could have been improved specifically in terms of its management. I am actually dying to voice out my thoughts but I know in the end what I say would just make things worse for me. I believe the person who said "some things are better left to be unsaid" must have come from a broken home just like me. December marks the end of my journey as an academic administrator. I am not sure whether I will continue my journey or not but I will just keep a positive perspective and learn to accept. Come what may. If in the end, it is time for me to go, I will go. But of course, I will not leave without leaving a-walk-to-remember experience to my home. I have a duty to open up the minds of my family members. After all, if I don't say it, who else will?
