Aoife: Losing job taught me life lessons
TEACHER Aoife O’sullivan said goodbye to her classroom this week as she sadly lost her job due to the pandemic.
However, always ready to add another string to her bow, the former Miss Ireland beauty said she’s excited to see where she will end up next.
Aoife, who has been isolating in her family home in Cork, told The Social Media this week: “I’m actually going to be on the hunt for a job again now.
“I had a job in the school but due to the coronavirus a lady who was on a career break travelling had to come home so it’s just unfortunate the way it worked out.”
The 25-year-old, who had been teaching first and second class in Minane Bridge National School before the coronavirus struck, added: “I don’t mind, so far in my teaching career I’ve been in a different place every year but you learn so much from all the different environments, especially while I’m young.” Aoife said she’s lucky to have a rent-free home and a successful modelling profile on her side.
She added: “I love to be kept busy, but for me social media and stuff is like a hobby, like I don’t make money off it and I don’t want to either, that’s not my goal with it, but I do love the modelling side of it.
“So it’s great I love the diversity of it. I think it’s great.
“This has taught me a whole new outlook in life and reminded me there is no need to rush.
“I will be looking, but I know if I don’t get a job just yet it’s not the end of the world.
“I have modelling as well and I’m so lucky I have the luxury of having a home and no rent at the moment so I can do that without having to worry about it too much.”
Aoife, who has been using exercise with her siblings to pass her time in lockdown, said she feels for the kids and their parents at home trying to get to grips with the new normal outside the classroom.
And encouraging them to spark their creative side while indoors, the Junk Kouture Junior ambassador is calling on kids and parents to take part in Revolutionise Your Outfit – a competition with Junk Kouture and Revolut aimed to get those imaginary juices flowing again.
It is calling on students to make fashion accessories from household rubbish during lockdown. Aoife explained: “Kids thrive on routine and I really do feel sorry for them, it must be so hard.
“It has been tricky but you just have to adapt. I think this is a really good time for the Junk Kouture challenge to change things up for students and hopefully give them some motivation.”
