Difference people have different high standards of living. In my opinion, the way people live depends on what they afford. I have a well-paid job as a software developer in a large Vietnamese company. However, I am doing some part-time jobs in my free time. One of them is IT teacher at Technology School. My acquaintances and my friends are really surprised when they know that. They always ask me how I can balance my life between a bunch of stressful works and entertainment things. Today, I will tell you about my lifestyle and my schedule for the near future.
I have many reasons for having to work hard. First of all, I would love a house of my own. Therefore, I have to start with my saving now to make it real. Each month, I am also supporting my parents because they are at their old age now. Moreover, a comfortable budget makes me feel easy when buying new clothes or having holidays. I am very lucky to have good jobs that I am extremely interested in. I love technology and children. When standing in front of my students and telling them the story about technology, I feel happy and relaxing. Of course, sometimes I feel angry with the joke of naughty students. However, almost all of them are really nice and cute in conclusion.
On the other side, I sometimes feel tired and stressed. The trouble is that some days I have to work more than 12 hours per day and 6 days a week. On the weekend, I also have to mark the student's exam coding. Therefore, I always feel lack of energy at that time. Moreover, I don't have enough time to hang out with my friends or visit my parents as I used to be. More importantly, I have to be careful with my health. I often have a headache or muscle aches. These aches will reduce when I do exercises. However, they will turn back when I lie on the bed. Sometimes, they cause my sleepless.
I am about to quit my teaching job. Honestly, I don't want this to happen. However, I need to reduce my stress and live a healthier life. My parents agree with my decision. They always remind me to take time to do exercises and chill out with friends. They ask me to visit them and my niece when I am free because I haven't seen them for more than 6 months.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, I realize that we are only live once. Therefore, I have to love myself and my family more. Now, I am taking more free time for entertainment, cooking, or doing exercises. After locking down, I will catch the earliest bus to visit my parents as soon as possible. How about you, tell me about your plan after the covid-19 disaster?
