My final in Communications during my first semester in first year business school was to give a five minute persuasive speech about something I was passionate about. While I found myself listening to my peers explain to the class why they shouldn't smoke, or why they should workout, I was intimated to present my topic... "Follow yours dreams".
In short, I gave my speech and was shocked by the result of the class... they actually liked it. What a relief! (I actually thoroughly enjoyed all of the other speeches and, even though it was the most stressful final, it was the most rewarding.)
I have come to the conclusion that, although business school is the smart choice for an education it isn't the right choice for me. Funny, after my speech, one boy in the class asked if I was following my dreams. I replied "yes" without a doubt in my mind. I explained my ambitions to get my diploma and maybe even my degree, followed by work and a South American language school, however, things have changed. I have decided to finish my first year and be done with business school! Who knows, maybe I might go back to it and get a diploma, but as for right now, I want to study languages.
I had originally enrolled into Arts for linguistics, however, my mom and I talked about it and decided that business school would be a smart choice. Once again smart, but not right for me. I am happy with what I have accomplished so far with business and I am proud to say I worked hard. Not to mention, relevant courses for future jobs will be handy! I am ready to take a step into the unknown though!
As for right now, I am concentrating on getting through this semester, and working lots for my trip to Europe this summer. I will cross whatever bridges that come next when the time is right, but as for right now, I am following my dreams.. it is crazy how they can change so drastically in such a short period of time. I wonder how many times they will change in the years to come...
For your listening enjoyment, check out this awesome song... all thanks to my darling cousin Sarah!
Also, ever heard of One Direction (What makes you beautiful is their most famous song)? Want more awesome foregin boy bands? Check out this soon-to-be-famous group called "The United". I have been following one of these members for two years on youtube and I am so happy to say they will be famous soon! I love boy bands, just like when we were eight!
