It's been one week since school started.
Ask me if I am excited about school, I would have to say, yes I am.
It’s not that I love staying in the library to mug, or I like sitting for exams. It is just a phase in life where I feel I am most comfortable with.
I like studying, I like being a student and most of all, I know I can fulfil my responsibilities as being a student. I can’t say the same when it comes to finding a job in future.

During Monday’s Finishing Touch class, we were asked about our goals and ambitions, about which industry we would like to carve a career in future.
On paper, I could list down a few, like banking and finance, public relations and hospitality.
However, when I ask myself whether I could picture me working in a bank, or a hotel, or just anywhere, my answer is no.
Maybe I am not ready for the corporate world, maybe I just don’t want to be ready for it.

Yes, I have to agree that the main reason of studying in a tertiary institution is to prepare oneself for a career.
However, can’t students just be there to learn, just to pursue knowledge, and not for future riches and status?
In a materialistic world today, I think it is highly impossible.
But I know there are people who did it, and people who are in the midst of juggling their pursuit of knowledge and expectations of themselves.
I will strive to be one of them!

Till the next time,
Take care and God bless.

Love,
Desiree
