RE: WHAT I WANTED TO BE VS. WHAT I AM NOW

in Freewriters2 years ago (edited)

I am enthralled by this write up. It was as if the piece was talking to me telepathically. Well, my story took the same trajectory as yours; i guess i would attribute mine to the evergreen parlance "life happens". From nursing the desire to be an engineer; aeronautic to be précise, to being an actor, to being a well renowned entrepreneur. I had a whole bunch of them, but i narrowed down to these three. Today, i am a geographer, teacher and an aspiring M.Sc student in the same field. Most times, parents are major influencers on our career choices, citing their ever long precedented desire for us to select a lucrative job due to the job scarcity predicament of the nation, deeming other courses in the process. On the other side of it, life is the key influencer; which has derailed the career choices of many.

Knowing that this piece was relatable to what you've experienced, or had to deal with is everything. In all, I'm so happy that you have successfully narrowed your several choices to just a few. I'm still struggling, but I hope that I can figure it out with time.
Thank you for your comment.
