During the summer I read a book by Mitch Albom, "Tuesdays with Morrie". It was about a student who had promised an old proffesor, Morrie, that He will continously come and visit his favorite proffesor. Through the years, the student gradually forgot about Morrie only to coincidentally watch a news report that had involved Morrie. As he watch Morrie he learned that Morrie was ill and very close to his death. He then remembered that he had promised Morrie that he will never forget him. The student wanted to honor his word and dearched for Morrie.
After learning of Morrie's adress, the student quickly bought some plane tickets to visit. When the student arrived, Morrie was very welcoming. He invited the student to come in and learn his final lesson, LIFE. He tells the student of how his approaching death taught him so much. He explains how he appreciated life so much more now that he is ill.
And then as I write this blog it came to me. I do not want any regrets in my life. I feel that education is a privelege to me and I should seize this great oppotunity. I have not been performing to my full potential and I am willing to correct that. I no longer want to be that mediocre student. I want to be more! I think of all my cousins in my native country andI imagine how much they would appreciate an oppurtunity like this. And I apologize for the unfinished narrative but I want to be HEARD, but not identified. This is why I had to insert this into my blog.
As I walk around the campus, I took a good look around me. What am I going to choose for a career? I then realized that I had to find out before I pursue the wrong field. So that day, I just spent the whole day thinking, even at work I was thinking. I was thinking then, I looked at my fellow employees. They looked very unhappy. I could not imagine working like them for the rest of my life. Working just to pay the bills, I thought to myself I have got to get a hold of my happiness. And then, it came to me. Human resouces, Yup that's what I should pursue.
The next day, I tried to gather more information about the proffesion, Human resouces. I had found out that they focused on employee happiness and workers' rights. This was perfect for me. I would love to make the working enviroment pleasant for everyone. And for everyone that has worked we all know just how some co-workers can be. I would like to help employees that feel opressed or picked on in their job
My point in writing this blog is that any of us can just find out what career we want to pursue. I do not wish to speak for anyone but, I know it is difficult to find out what we really want to pursue. So advice to anyone who is still undeclared for their major, just be patient. Patience let's us make better decision because you do not want to do something that you are not happy about for 20-30yrs.
