Personal branding isn’t about ego.

It’s about visibility, influence, and service.

Because when people know who you are and what you stand for:

→ Your impact grows
→ Opportunities find you
→ A community builds around you.

To my fellow educators, consultants, and founders:

If you’re waiting to be discovered,maybe it’s time to step forward and be seen.

"Where would you like to go first?"

I asked my dad after showing him the list of all the tourist destinations in Sydney and Canberra.

"Your college.", he answered firmly.

When I asked him why, he said, "Because your journey in Australia started from TAFE NSW. You might have got recognition and awards and been featured here and there but it all started from that college. I want to see and experience your college."

For 6 years, I hadn't seen my parents.

I was working hard to finish my Bachelor of Early Childhood Education with TAFE NSW.

I was busy with full-time study, working to make a living, paying for my tuition and conducting community welfare projects.

When I graduated in 2020, I wanted my parents to be present at my graduation ceremony. Unfortunately, due to COVID, my graduation was postponed.

In the meantime, my Temporary Residency got rejected which caused a lot of stress, anxiety and personal financial drain.

Last year in November, after lots of effort, I finally got my Permanent Residency (PR). My first goal after I got my PR was to bring my parents to Australia for a visit.

Within a month, my parent's visit visa was granted. It was an emotional reunion for me. My dad's response totally blew me away.
I realised how grounded my parents were and how they have passed on the same ethics and morals to me.

This visit also made me realise how much I missed studying at TAFE as it was such a great learning experience due to my teachers and peers.

Thus, I have also started my Cert IV in Training and Assessment with TAFE NSW. Now! in a turn of events I have got a role at TAFE Digital as an Education Support Officer. I am excited to embark on this new journey with TAFE.

TAFE has been an integral part of my life in Australia. I have got a lot out of TAFE and with this new role, I hope to give back and contribute to the growth of TAFE's mission and vision.

I am writing this post to express my gratitude toward my role models: my parents and teachers who have always guided me and supported me along my journey.

Not to forget my amazing references Belinda Foye Reckerman and Bev Foster who have been role models for me in both ECEC and life. Thank you! Belinda and Bev. I am grateful to have met you guys and learn from you. And I am blessed to always have your support and guidance.

🚗🌟 Life has been one wild high-speed car chase for the past 6 years! I've been revving up those engines, pedalling to the metal, chasing goals and ticking checklists like there's no tomorrow. 📋🏁

Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against goals or checklists, in fact, I am quite addicted to them. 🤓 But after this endless cycle of "this, that, this, that" for six years straight, I realized it wasn't just my body and mind running on fumes, but my soul too. 🏃‍♂️💨

You know, a circus juggler can keep those balls in the air for hours. 🤹‍♂️ But even the most skilled juggler's hands eventually get tired, and that's when things can take a tumble. 🤹‍♂️🎪

So, I decided to hit the pause button. For 10 days, I packed up all my balls (metaphorically speaking: work, family, friends, study, social work, routine responsibilities and so on) and embarked on a journey of self-discovery through a 10-day Vipassana course (10 days of no talking, no phones, just total silence and mediation). 🧘‍♂️🙏

It's like a taste of monkhood, but within the confines of a busy household and social life. 🏡👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 It was time to quiet the chaos, find inner peace, and recharge my spirit 🌟🧘‍♂️.

🧘‍♂️✨ Emerging from my 10-day Vipassana journey feels like stepping out of a cocoon into a world that's both familiar and transformed. 🦋🌍 The chaos of everyday life now feels a bit more manageable, as I've learned to navigate the currents of my mind with a newfound sense of calm.

P.S. It's free of cost though finding a spot can be hard. For the burnout souls, may you find real peace, real happiness and real joy.
