"All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." --Walt Disney
Close your eyes for a moment. Pause and reflect. Was there an instance in your life that almost
made you want to quit school? How did you overcome it?
When I was still in high school, I have always wanted to study Psychology. It had always
been a dream of mine to be in the medical field. But just a few months before graduating from high
school, I had hit rock bottom. I don’t know what exactly happened, I just lost all my motivation and
my interest towards it. Then the start of college admissions was fast approaching, I didn’t know
what program to take. I wanted to quit school and take a gap year, but being in a Filipino
household, that wasn’t an option available for me. I was in distress; I was contemplating if I should
pursue going to college with a program I am not interested with or just stop.
During this time, I was volunteering to our local church; I was there almost every day. It was a way
for me to destress and explore different opportunities. During my time there, I discovered that I
have a deep passion for something else. And now, I’m pursuing something I am passionate about.
