"Your profession is not what brings home your weekly paycheck, your profession is what you're put here on earth to do, with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling." - Vincent Van Gogh.
Over the last few days I have been thinking about what I would like to do when I grow up and believe me, every time I think about that different ideas of a profession have come to my mind.
When I was a little girl, lets say, when I was like in first grade I wanted to be a nurse, maybe I was crazy back in those days, now that I think back about that stage in my life and compare it to my present me I hate medicine, blood and hospitals, then I really am sure that medicine or nursery isn't for me, I would let all of my patients die or something because I will enter into a panic attack, so, for the good of the universe, I am sure I will not me a nurse, or doctor, or anything that has to be related to medicine, so, feel good about that!
Over the pass of time I entered as you might now know, to sewing classes and therefore those sewing classes sparked a desire in me to be a fashion designer, which is still sparkling inside me because I really want to be a fashion designer someday, even thought I know it would be a risk to somehow succeed in that profession I am looking for someday, after studying other careers study fashion design and maybe succeed but I will let time decide if fashion design is for me.
The last year has been for me a time to think about my future, in my family we are 3 little cousins and one of them has now graduated, the other is graduating on June and I am the next and last of the generation to graduate, so over the family meetings people have asked what my cousin and me are going to study, the first time I answered "international business or law" which ended in my two cousins which are lawyers telling me that studying law was the worst thing which lead me to think it was a wrong idea to study law, then I started doubting about international business and economy came into my way which is a really good career but I started thinking about it and maybe I wanted to be an economist or a international negotiator in order to make my parents happy because they wouldn't like me to study fashion design because maybe it wouldn't give me money to live with, which is something very true, I would need to go to other famous cities away from Colombia and major in fashion design to be very recognized and maybe by that time it wouldn't be possible to go that far away to study.
At last in the past days a new career entered into my path which once in the past I told my parents it was impossible for me to ever study that, I feel I want to study advertising which is what my mom studied, this career sounds so good that has capture my attention and it combines my other true desire, to be a photographer, so therefore maybe I would be a publicist.
In conclusion I don't know what I am going to study, well... I have 2 years left to decide about that, I hope I make a good choice, the only thing I want is my profession to be something I love not something I am bored at and something that I don't want to do, I want to wake up and be happy to go to work because of what I am doing and don't feel annoyed of what I decided to do with my life. So therefore, you, our there, choose a profession YOU love, not something that you don't want to do, but don't forget to think first; "is this going to give me something in order to live the rest of my life?"
