As i ate my maggie noodles just now i began to reflect on my life for the past few days, mainly during open house. It was fun being an Iguide and all, well if you were guiding the friendly ppl =D well anyway on the last day of the Open House i was bringing this family around biz school cause they were only interested in the courses there. The mum was telling me about how she wants her daughter to choose the right course and not follow her peers and also about her other daughter who is not so good in her studies. When she found out that i was from an ITE before i came to poly she was relieved and saying thank god that she met me and that i gave her hope that her other daughter may continue her studies after ITE. The family kept thanking me profusely for bringing them around the school.
I was kinda overwhelmed by the whole thing. Here i was doing wat i normally do and to think somebody actually appreciates it whole heartedly makes me feel good, even tho for awhile. It also made me realize how clouded my mind has been. When i was in ITE, i came in with a goal. To excel in my studies and enter poly. That goal had never left me and now here i am studying in TP in law n mgmt. My first sem results was not that great. I realized my drive in ITE has not been here with me when i entered poly. I think now i'm gonna make a stand. I have to get my goals and priorities straight in order for me to go far. I need to do this for myself and also for my mum who has always been there for me.
Open House also made me realize something. Peeps come down to take a look at courses they have interest in. Just like i did when i was back in secondary school. Passion and interest makes a difference when you want to persue something. It drives you to do your best.
I've always had interest in photography and radio, well i still do... only that i've never had a chance to pursue it. I still hope to pursue it in the future. Its still hard to believe how i ended up in law. Life works funny sometimes. Its beginning to sink in that law is part of my life already and i believe i was put here for a reason, a reason i'm not sure yet. Everything i do revolves around it now. Surprisingly i have no qualms abt it and there's this part of me who wants to go on and pursue it.

In everything we do there is always choices to be made. There is always consequences to every choice we make even if its good or bad. Risks are also part and parcels of life. If we dont take risks nothing will happen. It will just remain the way it is. Fear is always there as a stumbling block. Its our choice if we want it to consume us and hinder us from taking tat risk. In my heart i know this but then sometimes i'm letting fear linger in me. For instance i treasure my friendships too much to let anything jeapordize it which is why i dont take action even tho my heart tells me to do it... does this make me weak?
