Our instructor asked each one of us in the class what our strengths and weaknesses are.
Some focused on their skills, like, “My strength is Music and Arts and my weakness is Math” and some focused on their traits, like, “My strength is socializing with people and my weakness is that I am afraid of heights”.
While I was waiting for my turn to tell mine, I wasn’t really sure if I should focus on my skills or on my traits. But when it’s my turn to speak, what came out of my mouth was:
“My strength are my loved ones and I feel weak when I’m alone.”
My decision of shifting course was quick. I don’t even know if I really thought things out before shifting, but eventually, I did. I really want to be a Com student and being an Accountant was never on my plan; being a Lawyer was. But when I reflected on how I am studying, I thought, “Is this really what I really want?” and my answer was, “No.” So I decided to shift.
I was so focused on going after what I really want but I guess, I never thought I’d leave so many people that are really close to my heart.
Since I shifted to BA COM, which does not belong to the SABM campus, I am, once again, challenged to see new faces and experience a new environment like as if I just came to college.
It’s my first day today, and when I got home, I started crying. I miss my family so much. I miss my SABM friends. I miss everything in Bakakeng. But it’s too late, because I am already where I should be, and I need to continue with what I chose to start.
I may be successful in the future because I chose the path where I think I can succeed, but how am I going to give my best in everything I do if I chose my weakness over my strength?
