Sometimes when one has seemingly achieved his mission in life, it is when the most drastic changes happen to him. Change, however, can also be brought about by a personal decision.

With my partner’s sensitive condition as an expecting mother, I am trying home-based transcription works. With it, I can take care of her and earn at the same time. Amidst this exigent change in my life, I see hope in technology and transcription opportunities. With people tr...
