2. My Real Vocation

At the time of my graduation from college, due to scarce demand of jobs, the job I was offered was a work for the Board of Directors of Think tanks in the mid of Tokyo .

I started my carrier as the secretary for the ‘Person of the Day', who introduced P. F. Drucker, an American , who was famous as an scholar on business studies at the time.

Since then, only the job of mine was a secretary for presidents or chairpersons of some organizations no matter where I worked. Acquiring a certificate of a secretary license

later on, I had been with the same types of profession for about twenty years.

Though my boss changed, what I did as a secretary had been receptive and monotonous, which strove me to a more exciting work. That feeling of mine gradually became stronger.

On the other hand, I enjoyed my daily work. My two children grew and went nursery school and kindergarten. My mother was kind enough to take care of them very well.

My husband and I left for work early in the morning and came home late at night.

A life of a ‘Two income family' had been established.

Those days was the time when I started to have a vague misgivings that I'd have to lose my job at the mandatory retirement age, 60 year old. At the same time it was the time when I begun to wonder what other things I might be able to do.

One day my boss at work suddenly quit his job to be replaced by a new boss.

Now the time came to' Take off' for me, thought I. But I had no idea of taking off to where and how.

Now my journey to look for ‘mySELF' started.
