Officer?

Kinda weird when strangers ask me about my job. Because I can't honestly tell them that I'm an officer.

Become an officer is something that I never expected before, why? For those who graduated from engineering college then is it common to be an officer after that? No, it's literally no.

So, why I chose this path?

First, being a jobseeker was suck. After you have a title after your name and you graduated then you don't know what to do. Competed with many fresher out there to get a position in the company was really tiring for sure.

Second, I felt tired because I'm an undergraduate from a good uni but became an unemployed for almost 6 months.

Third, God's way for me. If I put the red line in my life story, once I ever asked God that I wanted to be a student of TN, a semi military high school. But the fee was so expensive for my parents and they can't afford it if I didn't take scholarship. But who knows God answer my pray on this time?

But honestly I'm not confident enough carrying this burden. Maybe some people ask me why I rarely post my pic of wearing the uniform. Aren't you proud of it? No, I'm really proud of myself. But that uniform doesn't declare how proud I am, it shows that I should be responsible to this nation. Dedicating all of my life for this country. How heavy is the burden in the back of my uniform?

I'm just an officer work in the laboratory, but I'm really sure I still can be the real officer with no doubt.
