Beam Me Up Scotty

Abstract

It was always there at the back of my mind. Somehow, I had to get us onto e-learning. I didn’t know how, or what, or where to begin, but I knew it was simply the place I wanted us to go. The world was changing fast. Every day in every way I felt the pulse of change but I was often so distracted, running the business and chasing planes in different airports, on the go almost daily.

I grew weary of all this traveling, striking out from one airport to another, waiting at the boarding halls, always waiting. I would barely be around in my office for 10 days in a month. The rest of the 20 days went by flying, literally flying, waiting, teaching, waiting, flying, waiting again at the cab line to make my way back home.

It was especially difficult when one of the kids fell ill and I had to leave home for work. Those were the moments when I would wish so desperately that I could just click a button on my transponder and beam myself into the classroom, much like how Captain Kirk did in Star Trek whenever he asked Scotty to beam him up.
