As per my ambition, I made it at the top of the class and immediately got the offer of the job as a Lecturer in the same university. How about my friends Shompa, Shirin and Shapla? They got career jobs in the field of teaching as well: Shompa as a teacher of Computer Studies in a school, Shirin in a Computer Center, Shapla in a kids’ school teaching computer stuff. I think among the three, Shapla was the most restless, always changing jobs from one to another in several parts of the city. I read somewhere in the internet that those who change jobs frequently also change their significant other frequently. But this was not the case with Shapla as years later when she got married until now, she had a steady happy family; however as I mentioned earlier, they changed places within London frequently, and I mentioned the reason for this as well.
Shompa instantly got friends as elderly teachers as well as the younger ones. She is so outgoing and lively that she never fails to impress anyone. Shirin had to learn how to teach in the hard way, receiving a lot of criticisms but the wonderful thing about it all is that she made it at the end.
I was kind of out of touch with them when I went to Germany for higher studies. By the time I came and rejoined my job, it was time for Shompa to leave for Australia with her ailing mom. Her uncle supported her in every way; so back then she got all the help she needed, and I am so proud of her that she took such a giant leap. She was still estranged from her blood brother. She said she will come back in three months’ time and get married to her boyfriend and take him back with her. She simply said that was the way it best worked for her. So I left it upto her and did not question her anymore regarding that and wished her all the very best.
