What do you want to be when you grow up?

I've been pensive lately. Two days ago, my mom went to school to get the UP application form. I scanned the pages and stared intently at the courses they offered. They had so many courses to choose from. I know for a fact that my parents cannot afford to pay the tuition fee of Cornell, Harvard, or Oxford. So I would most probably have to settle for the universities here (UP, ADMU, DLSU) and maybe someday, I can take my master's degree abroad.

For now, I have to decide on a course I would like to take up. This is a very crucial situation. Once I check the box and indicate my course, it would most likely change my life forever. It's a beginning of a new route.

I was thinking of choosing a course that less people would apply for-- but then that would make me a mediocre. I want a challenging course that would be worth fighting for. I have to do good in the entrance exam though. I'm up against all those brainy students from different Science high schools. I heard they can solve 18 math problems in 5 minutes or so. Yes, competition is stalwart and inevitable.

I know that I've always dreamed of becoming a lawyer. My second option is architecture or interior design. My third is psychology. I pray that God would give me a sign, and lead me to the right direction. I need guidance in terms of choosing courses.

I can't help but worry about my future. All of us would want a better tomorrow for ourselves. I was never in a hurry to grow up, and the speed of time overwhelms me. I can't believe I'm actually blogging about college courses. Time sure flies fast. And within those years, I can say that I've learned a lot. Sure, I may not be completely mature, but I learned plenty and God has molded and developed my character.

I shall continue to pray fervently for my future. I pray that God would help me make the right choices and decisions. I will do my best, and wherever he sends me, I will follow. To abide in God's will would lead me to the right places. Please do add me to your prayers. Any prayer requests? Haha. Good night everyone, and may you all have a pleasant morning.
