Another Rejection

I thought I should start giving tuition. I applied for a tutor's post with an agency. I was told that there was a vacancy to teach a small group. I was happy but my happiness was shortlived. "Which college were you from?" asked the administerator during my interview. "I'm from a private school" I replied. "I'm surprised" he said. I was wondering why the surprise when I've come this far?

I did not get the job. It could be because I came from a private school. I worked extremely hard to come this far. Nobody would understand that I guess.

I had to face rejection after rejection. I told myself to treat this incident positively as I did not like the look of the centre.

The Day That I Won't Forget

April 18 is when I received the rejection letter. Depression set in. I wanted to be lonely. 10 years before, I was not this depressed but the feeling was almost the same (it was for a totally different reason). My friends got it. I felt lousy for the first time. I had to face reality. The real harsh life. For people like me, it is so hard to get something that I want or rather, wanted in my whole life. For some others, it's so easy to get.
