i have some thoughts to share.
hands up those of you who think that what i'm doing (going to Messiah College (to you, some weird, hick Christian college)) is really dumb when i could go back to Singapore.
i know some people think that way. my parents think i'm making the worst mistake of my life. my parents friends think the same. now my uncle, whom i hardly see, thinks that it's a 'waste' (of what, i don't know).
well, exccuuusssseeee me mr uncle-who-did-not-get-a-degree-till-he-was-forty-something-and-did-his-MBA-at-a-super-ulu-university-in-australia-and-thinks-he's-damn-big-now, i happen to be really excited about going to Messiah even though i might not be as successful as you in your eyes.
what happened to the 'follow your heart theory'
or the 'do what makes you happy' and 'take risks' mottoes(spelling, help!)
right now, i don't quite know what i want. of course monetary wise, i'd wish to be financially stable. i wouldn't want to rely on anyone else. and i'm sure that a degree from Messiah can get you a decent job, even if it's a clerical job back here in malaysia that'll pay RM1000 a month. but that's not something that i worry about, i mean let god do the worrying for now. what i want is a wholesome education and recapture some of the fun i've missed. i want to see the USA for what it is, not for what i thought i saw it as. it might not be what i expect it to be, i could hate it just as much as i hated singapore, but it's an experience nevertheless isn't it. and really, i've been given such a big opportunity to study in the states, why not just go?
so really, tell me honestly, you think i'm making a mistake?
