自分で選んだ道
企業に就職したのも、教師を目指し教員採用試験を受験したのも自分の選択。だけど、それは敷かれたレールを歩く一歩だった。もちろん、当時は全くそんなことを思いもしなかったけど。だけど、今ふり返ると、【あたり前】という自分の中で作られた概念の中で生きていた。目の前にあるレールを踏み外さないように必死でしがみつき、日々を送る。それも自分で選んだ道だった。
“Joining a company and taking the teacher recruitment exam to become a teacher were both my own choices. However, they were steps along a predetermined path. Of course, at the time, I didn’t think of it that way at all. But looking back now, I was living within the concept of ‘normalcy’ that I had created in my mind. Desperately clinging to the rails in front of me, trying not to stray from the path, I spent my days. That too was a path I had chosen for myself.”
自分で歩き出した道
2017年、敷かれたレールからおりる決断をし、その一歩を進む。周りからのプレッシャーや期待、すべてをふり切り、【いま】自分がやりたいことは何なのか？自問自答しながら・・・本当の意味で自分で歩き始めた。
In 2017, I made the decision to step off the laid-out track and take that first step. Shaking off all the pressure and expectations from those around me, I began to question myself: “What is it that I truly want to do right now?” As I engaged in this self-reflection… I truly began to walk my own path for the first time.
はじまり
その一歩が世界旅行への挑戦。
“That one step is a challenge towards world travel.”
