I’m still not very sure how to approach this task but I want to reiterate what I discussed in my week #1 reading reflection.
After this week’s readings, it’s reminded me of issues I had dealt with during high school. I was particularly hit hard as a teenager with the idea of finding a passion in life. Most of my friends had created goals (hell, starting to achieve them!) revolving around their idea of their perfect job. I had a friend who had always wanted to be an animator since his early childhood, and my best friend at the time had wanted to be a social worker ever since her family started dealing with some rocky issues. This was troubling to me since all the the questions your receive as you encounter your last year of secondary schooling is related to “What do you want to do with your life?”
Since then, I am no where closer to finding out what the answer is. But I’ve most certainly become more accepting of this state of constant questions. I’ve been more drawn to the idea of getting a job I’m content with, in order to finance and support other interests in my life. My happiness does not have to derive from my career and that took a good 10 years to establish within my mind.
