Affirmation, after a disappointment

This was a part of a blog entry written by a friend. I read it with much empathy, because I would have been so close to this if I had not plucked up the courage to jump ship while I am young and when there are choices. Choices that you can make without messing up too much of your life. Though it would only be 3 years in my case, I think that is miserable enough. To be slogging your way towards something you had no passion for. She's not the first friend who feel this way. Actually, many of my friends in this particular course feel this way. I guess it could be said to be a blind pursuit of prestige, with not much passion to speak of, sadly.

Though I had just been disappointed by an interview, I am still sure that I am on the right track. It might not be the most glamorous, most well-paid, most 'wow' career; it is, undeniably, something I want to do. I believe that is what matters the most - to pursue my dream and to respond to my calling.
