What is it you want to be? This is a question a friend of mine asked and nobody in the room could give an answer , and mind you we were all in the university. I know you might think we are some kind of irresponsible, lazy, carefree people, but truth is we are as responsible as responsible can get, we are hard working, smart, intelligent and creative( i dont mean to brag). we put our hearts to what ever we find ourselves doing but the problem is we don't seem to find that thing we want to be, what we are going to specialise in and put all our hard work and talent into. This as become a case of ' jack of all trades master of none'.
In schools we were thought variety of subjects and decipline which were meant to build us to survive in this world, and for those who are all round good find it the hardest to find or discover what they want to be. In secondary school they have to battle with the stereotypes that the smartest students are to go to the science class, because science were seen to be more challenging than the other classes, and since they were good all round its only logical they go for the more challenging class, neglecting the fact that they can strive in other classes or enjoy the other classes more .
The truth is, there is nothing wrong with the education system or the way we grew up. The only loop hole is that we were put under pressure to find what we want to be before we found ourselves and the irony is as we grew and began to grow and spread our wings, we discovered that there is more to us and we are capable of a whole lot more than we thought, we start getting confused and instead of having a thing we want to be we have
a lot of things we can be or do that we have a problem choosing one.
But the only advice i can give people like me is to keep working hard in whatever they find themselves doing and leave things to sort itself out.
