The Second Life

Women have two lives in one life.
It might sound something strange for you, but I feel it from my life experience.

My second life started when I became a mother.

"Mother" and "non-mother" are different. After a woman gave a birth to a baby, she became a different person. Having a baby would change the mother's heart and the way of looking at the world. If you are a mother, you would know what I mean.

Truely it is a radial change for woman to have a baby. Totally different life is there and you can not go back to the life before the baby arrived.



I myself feel the difference in my occupation as well. I had been a teacher before I became a mother, and for four years after my first son's birth.

Becoming a mother changed my whole philosophy about my life. Applying for the new philosophy, I felt teaching job was not what I really wanted to do while I am a mother.

Here I would not say why and how come to this idea, for the explanation would take quite long ...


Anyway, I felt I needed to change my occupation. "What shall I become after a teacher?" was the next question. Then I reached a conclusion and now I am working for the new goal to achieve a new profession that is completely different from a "teacher."




I am finished teaching, and have started proceeding toward the new occupation.



I can easily imagine that it would have been much more difficult to change the profession if I live in Japan..., especially for women. So I really am happy living in one of the countries that allows people, both men and women, to change the occupation.


But it was myself who has decided to change my life. I would have done same thing or found the way to achieve my dream even if I was in Japan......


Anyway, I am enjoying my second life.
