Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog. Growing up we all had a different dream and picture of our life compared to what we have now; my friend and I still tease ourselves because of the dream we shared with ourselves when we were in SS1 and there was no teacher in class that day, so we had all the time in the world to share the dream life we had in mind. My friend said he wants to be out of college by 22, get a job, and then be married by 25, but the reality he is living in currently is a lot different from what he pictured back then; he did not even finish college like he planned to or dreamed of because he dropped out of college and joined the army and is still not married yet.
My own story is even funnier; I will be done with college at 21, and by 23 I will have my life figured out, but guess what? I am still in college and still trying to get my life figured out; if only we knew what life had in store for us, which was completely different from what we have in mind, maybe we would not have worried too much about the future.
Despite the ups and downs and the turn of events, sometimes when I see a reflection of myself in the mirror, all I can say is "kudos to me for becoming who I am today." I have indeed come a long way even though things did not go like I pictured them to go. Truth be told, I did not really picture myself handling things the way that I do after my entire plan that I had for myself came crashing down.
Growing up, I had plans of going for a medical or paramedical course, but plans changed when Dad said he wanted an engineering course, and then I chose to go for civil engineering but was offered agricultural and bioresources engineering instead. The dream moved from one thing to another. After so much thinking about whether I should accept the admission or not, I finally decided to take it, though none of it (civil engineering and agricultural and bioresources engineering) was part of the initial plan, but I still went ahead and accepted the course, and so far so good. I'm loving it and seeing the opportunities it offers.
I do not regret accepting the admission and don't think I will ever have a reason to; it might not be what I had in mind, but it does not change the fact that it has been a blessing in disguise. Still a work in progress, as I am currently not where I want to be but at the same time not where I used to be.
