Perception Check: The Pillow Method

Introduction:
There are many issues in life that need advice and suggestions. I tend to discuss certain issues with my family members. Although, I have my own opinion and ways to solve them. Recently, I was worried about myself for better earning in Canada. Before I moved to this country, I was a graduate nurse as well as a post graduate in business and health administration. I had excellent opportunities to earn and settle myself in my home country. As a process of getting my credential approved as per the standards. For this, I need constant support from my family that includes my mother and few maternal relatives. The question was there I should go back to the home country and get the things done for

I feel staying here and doing labor jobs will not help me with anything. This country is expensive and provides no benefits for me with minimums. It was much better job and more satisfaction back home with my education and jobs. It is painful and waste of all education until I get myself accredited. It is a matter of 3-4 months that would be deducted from the domicile residential period. But if I get my license here, I would be able to have a wonderful life for all the time I stay here. I will be able to get all that I need. Considering my opinion, I feel my mom’s idea to what is …show more content…
Getting all the documents will start only first phase of the process. It will not assure my job that I want. I also need to go to all three academic institutions where I studied and request all of them to produce necessary documents. Each institute has its own way of working which takes a minimum 3-6 months. And that too not assured that they will send the correct documents within timeframe. Apart from that, I also need to go to all the places I worked and ask all of them to give me records that I need. As I have been working for 7 years in the field of health and administration I need a detailed report for all those years. As per my knowledge, there is lots of change in those organizations and some of them even do not have proper documentations with them. So, I feel my mother is right in that term.
Position 3: Both right: both wrong
My mother said she did not agree with my idea. For me it was as right as it would get me back to the track of good jobs. For my mother, It was time consuming and expensive. If I go back to the home country within no time, takes a good number of saving, no opportunities for earning and It will surely impact me on my citizenship as I need to meet minimum numbers of days as required domicile period. Instead, I should start something that is more practical and beneficial. So we both feel we are rightly related to present issues,
