Sure I thought about it {sometimes}.
However, can I answer these two questions right now? Do I know the answer today? Or does the answer to these two little questions change by day, month, years or even by the events that one goes through in a lifetime.
Once, I thought I was defined by my career. I have completed a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor of Arts. Two very worthy degrees that led me to become a primary school teacher. I love my career. I love teaching. I felt I made such an impact on children's lives. I love how I could make a difference. I love how I watch the students faces when I excite them or even "when the penny drops". I watch their faces light up in awe.
Now I am not only a Teacher. I am a Parent.
I thought I knew Responsibilty
I thought I understood Passion
I thought I earnt Respect
I thought I knew how Love felt
Till, I became a Parent.

Being a Parent some would say is the 'hardest' job in the world. I agree.
I have never felt such an overpowering love till the birth of my babies. An unconditional love I never thought existed. I was engulfed by responsibility, protection and passion. I was a mumma bear and nothing would ever come in between me and my cubs.
Being a good parent and doing the best I possibly could for my children was my priority.
This year, I return to teaching {one day a week} and I plan to be a good teacher. I plan to do the best I possibly can for my students.
Today, I am not defined but blessed in many ways;
I am
Believer
Wife
Mother
Sister
Daughter
Friend
The list goes on and on...
