I have finally come to a decision.I am QUITTING school.Not for good,but till I can figure out what is it I really want to pursue further in.Till then,a degree can wait.I mean,there is really no point with me continuing with this course when I know deep inside me,I am not exactly satisfied nor happy with it.The only reason I got myself into this course is because of 40% interest and 60% wanting to get over and done with getting a higher qualification.The margin is quite close but yet it makes a lot of difference in terms of self fulfilment and I am not even getting to the part about putting people in their places just yet(that is another form of satisfaction. :p ).
Friends and some family have been trying to talk me out of it.Some even sending me quotes on how character is built by the number of attempts we make etc etc.Yea,Thomas Edison took a hundred or so attempts to invent the light bulb but then,it was because he really had an interest with his research and development that he was so driven to overcome the 100 failures!Do you think,if he wasn't as passionate,he would have perservered on? NO! Trust me.He wouldn't be.He would have jumped the ship and found something else to work on.Why waste precious time right? 100 attempts is really alot of time put in!
Likewise, 1 or 2 failures itself can never make me just as motivated because the fuel to burn the fire is just not enough.Nope, not for the IT line.I may have made a mistake by rushing into this course but I am happy to realise it now before I go on to more semesters.I believe now is not too late to just quit and move on.Though not easy with the global recession,I will just keep a positive mind and start looking for a job.I want to first clear off my poly tuiton loans and the exisitng university bank loans and then save up enough to fund my future course(hopefully by then,I know what I want).I am giving myself a 2-5 years time span to accomplish it all. Easier said than done but nevertheless,I am going to just push on.
Who knows what the future holds? =)
p.s alittle sad that I won't be able to don the graduation gown so soon but hey! better late than never!=)
If my mind can conceive it,and my heart can believe it,I know I can achieve it.
