Summer, the season of change
These summer days in Hanoi are lovely. The weather is gentle, not too hot. Somehow, I feel a quiet flutter inside me. Maybe it's because I'm about to change to a new job. It stirs up old memories and reminds me that summer has always been a season of change for me.
Since childhood, summer has marked transitions. It always began with the final lessons of the school year and the excitement of an approaching vacation. I still remember the small farewell parties we held to say goodbye to our teachers and classmates. Summer meant leaving one grade behind and stepping into the next.
My first jobs after graduating from university also began after long summer days spent searching and adjusting. Summer, for me, has always been a time full of uncertainty and new beginnings.
Even recently, summer continues to push me toward change. When I was in Korea, I transferred universities from Incheon to Seoul during the summer --- a big shift in my academic journey. And now, once again, I'm preparing to leave my current job and begin a new chapter during this summer season.
Perhaps, this change is part of becoming a new version of myself. From experience, I've learned that each new opportunity tends to be better than the last.
I once started an amazing job (I wrote about it before An Amazing Job) after trying several that weren't the right fit. I also transferred to a better university where I was able to complete my graduate program and I transformed so much in the process.
Now, I hope another opportunity is waiting, something even more aligned with the career I'm building.
