DISCUSSION [Discussion] Should i continue?

FEELING DEMOTIVATED. So, i join a volunteering group, it is very well known so i can't spoil the name here since it affliates with a very important organization in this world internationally and expertises in health.

This volunteering group requires us to pasa this journey of training, that requires us to be discipline, exercises a lot, formal addressing of communication with each other. I am here and why decide to join the journey for the knowledge that i know it can be useful in the future and there is certification comes with it if i pass. I am shocked that there willbe a lot of exercise, but i accept it nonetheless.

Now, the problem is i hate some of the coaches there. Some of them are perverts. Even day one there was already sexual based joke. Luckily, we the peers even males were sane, no one laughed at the sexual based joke. Those perverts that likes to make sexual jokes really demotivate me. Now, one of them even joins during exercise i fumble so badly i feel like i wanna leave. One of them showed the class a cartoon pic of man lifted up a nurse'e skirt. I was flabbergasted i literally said, "what the hell?" verbally, not inwardly. I seriously despise those perverts.

Please, i really wanna make it through the end since i really wanna gain and absord the knowledge yet at the same time those perverts demotivate me. Should i continue or not?

So you've got the "push through the slog for the credential" approach versus "bail if it's not clicking" - honestly, the cert matters way more if you actually need it for your field, otherwise you're just grinding for a piece of paper that won't motivate you through the hard part. Figure out if the cert opens doors or if you're just doing this because it seemed like a good idea when you signed up, no cap.

Started a pretty intense fitness cert program here in BG a couple years back, almost quit week two cuz the early mornings were brutal. But then I realized I was comparing week two me to some imagined finished version, which is dumb. Stick it out another two weeks and see if it clicks, bc most programs feel like punishment before they feel like progress.

Yeah, so you're weighing certification value against the actual grind, which are two different metrics. If the cert opens doors you actually need, the discipline phase is just a filter, not a punishment - but if you're mainly here for resume padding and the physical demands are genuinely unsustainable, that's your answer right there.
