coming to a new place
meeting new friends
settling down for a knowlegdeMarch 29th 2007, possibly it could be said as one of the most exciting and horrific days in my life. However, for 13 years of attending institutionalized education environment, I have become used to surrounding myself with people who are also known as my friends. Having the inkling of being in a new place with new people in a new surrounding scared me to death since I have not been exposed to such an environment before like my high school days. This whole lot of experience turned out to be the complete contrast to what I had envisioned during my high school of leading up to this horrific anxiety-filled affair so it is official now then never. I was not in high school anymore or any part of it as i kind of missed it. I could not imagine myself walking down the halls of new school; college.
My college. It sounded funny and weird to me as I was not accustomed in saying that before or ever did i imagined myself saying that. Though to me it really was something of which to regard highly and not lightly. Although, that's since high school, I have been eager in enrolling to college and wanting to be in college so bad and a college student; a serious studious student who is able to decide and comprehend in making her decision in her life and most importantly, her future. Yes, my future. Being the only child has it's pros and cons BUT the cons always weights out the pros. My parents had a lot of expectations of me as I was the only one who is actually able to "see the light" and walk through the doors of a higher education facility which is college. That triumph of victory within itself was short-lived as the pressure of it overpowered it.
Pondering on it, I readied everything for my up and coming classes and my orientation obviously. Enrolling in to college was actually a big deal and a big step for me. As soon as I entered the college campus at Petaling Jaya, the high school atmosphere vanished in to thin air and a serious period of my life began which i fear the most. Premature feelings of wanting to shoot my way in succeeding fast in life had to be put away.
My first day at taylors which signified the beginning of my career pathway and goals in life, the first day of the semester as I viewed it. The receipt for my tuition fee, some documents and my class schedule were held tightly in one hand and the empty "baggage" that was supposed to be filled with tons of books as I viewed it. I know that I've been making the whole college life setting seem more that what it really was and ought to be, I know it was a bit eccentric that I was flipping through all the booklet and leaflet that the seniors hand out to me, it made my thought of my new and questionable journey in life quite stimulating and productive at some point. I got in to a new educational building; my college, exposed to a different style of learning environment, and meeting new people. It was surely a day full of new and awkward experience that I am going to encounter as i set out to fulfill my dreams and goals in college and that is to succeed in life. In comparison, my journey is like a butterfly that emerge from it's cocoon and starting a brand new journey.
