The “change” in the School of Life
They say that entering college is the stepping stones to build your future. That’s why you have to choose wisely where you want to start and what you want to start.
My story in starting my college life is quite challenging and stressing. Haha let me tell you a story..
When I was i 3rd year my classmates are kept talking about their courses. While me, I still don’t have an idea about that topic. My mind was still not familiar and interested about those things. Back to the day when I was a child I always say that I want to be a Tourism. While growing up, people change, everything we wants also change. My interest in tourism was gone.
Entering 4th year highschool.. I was kinda pressure because this is the last year of being highschool and the fact that we all have to decide already what to take in college. My classmates helped me to decide, they ask about my characteristics, and things that I want and love to do. One day I was sweeping our classroom when one of my friend told me that “oh.. zyra you’re good in housekeeping right?” and I said yes. And then he kidd aside hahahaha and told me that “dont come to school, you”re very good at it already” then we laughed together. There are times that I have a friends who got dumped by their boyfriends and Im always there to help them and gave some advices to them and few weeks later.... they’re get back to their boyfriends. Hayy!!! Why are they’re not listening to me???? hmmm
To be honest, I got jealous to people who already know what to take in college. But I tried to understand myself and give some time to think. I examined myself... I want to help and understand myself. I want to cure people. (Like what nurses do). I want to know anything that makes me curious, new to me (like in History,biology) I also love cooking, anything in the kitchen and doing household chores.I also want to be a Doctor. Anything!!! except Math... I hate Math because why do we have to make things complicated? right?
In the month of May, there was this friend who really helped me to decide and offered/ introduced me to this course. She said that psychology fits my characteristics, and it is pre-med. She’s always there to help me and answered me when I have questions about going to college. She really push me to understand this course. She opened my mind to choose wisely what career to take.I did some research about this course and it makes me more interested about it. I also researched about the difference between the BA & BS PSYCHOLOGY. I realized that I made this decision with the help of God. Because it was really unexplainable and unexpected. I didnt let myself to go with the pressure I experienced for the 10months. He just gave me the right decision at the right time.
