I've been staying in London for the past four months now and it's only recently that i've been accepted in a job as a support worker in a care home in Wembley. My new role will be to take care of middle-age people with Learning Dissabilities who are staying in a home. I had a training on this kind of Job but still, i must admit, i'm nervous on how i can do this job effectively. I'm like a soldier going hesitantly to a war afraid on how he's gonna end up. I know i can do this job effectively but at the back of my head, i'm worried on how i can communicate effectively. I'm good in written english, but when it comes to conversation specially with the brits, i'm very slow to the point of being dumb because i'm still grasping and thinking of coloquial words to reply back.
The language barrier is something that really worries me here in U.K. But i know i'll get over this in time. After all, i have no rights to say no to a job opportunity. This is the very reason i left my career as a teacher in the Philippines to earn better living for my family. If only the politicians and government officials in the Philippines are more compassionate and honest, 'Wala sanang mag-aabroad na pinoy at tiising mawalay sa kani-kanilang pamilya'. Haay buhay!
