It is very rightly said that time flies when you are enjoying life. HIGH SCHOOL a very important year of our lives had just arrived when I was crying and feeling depressed at fact that my class was shuffled and I was left with no close friends in my class but soon enough I adjusted as I had been doing for the last 5 years. (each and every year my class was shuffled since class V) I started enjoying and having fun in class, had few of the most beautiful and unforgettable moments of my life. I was in love with each and every thing about my class from teachers to my classmates who teased me, friends who deliberately pulled out my rubber band from my hair, I learned to give silly excuses for not completing my work, yet my teachers loved me for my naughtiness, my friends helped me cheat in class tests and do did I enjoy helping them. It was a wonderful year of my life. Now my own words appear in contradiction to my words at starting of the session , I used to tell my friends I'm never ever gonna miss this class but look at me now I'm here writing this entire story about my experiences in this class, time changes with the blink of an eye. True... Ain't it?
It was the last week of my regular classes in class 10th when we were handed the forms to opt for streams in class 11th. Earlier I was very clear with my goal and focus in life but a few things changed my mindset and I was left perplexed, I asked myself a million times..WHAT TO DO? I don't blame anyone for confusing me but I strongly feel the more opinions you take the more confused you are bound to get. I always wanted to be a fashion designers but somewhere deep down my heart I knew I wanted to change the world.. and believe me fashion designers only change a person's appearance but to bring about a change I had to do something different.. something that would speak for itself. Deciding the stream for myself was not a task I could just get away with very easily. It was the matter of my entire career. I know a few people reading this would call me immature for I don't give a damn to all that money making thing... I know..I know I sound like my top floor is vacant but that's how I think I would want to work not because it will earn me a living but because it will be my passion. Is it wrong to follow your passion? What if following your passion you lag behind in this competitive world? Will I wrong my life following my passion? Will my opinion about living my life change as I grow up or will I land up doing nothing in my life? These were the questions I put forth myself after listening to the suggestions given to me by a hundred people around me.
I know there would be million students who might have been through the same kind of fix. I know a few whose parents want them to be engineers/doctors even when the students know their potential and they want to opt for some other stream but they are forcefully made to study something they would never make use of in their lives because its not their choice. Will these kids be successful because they are following not their passion but what the world(parents and other) ask them to do?
Sometimes I wish I could just build a future machine so that I could have a future ride to see what I land up doing when I grow up because this question of WHAT TO DO kills me inside!!
