I don't know how to write about this topic without telling too much of my personal story. Hmm.. Let me think..
I just met up with Yesslyn last Sunday and she asked me, "So how's your plan for your Master's degree?" It was not just me and Yesslyn there, so my answer was just, "I'd like to serve my 3-year-bond first." I think the 3-year-bond reason is a good reason to be given to others.
To some others, I would say that "Things are complicated now, so I'd like to serve my 3-year-bond first."
To some others, I will not say "Things are complicated". Actually, I don't think things are that complicated, it's just that there's this new awareness or realization that I have a different dream or "ambition". Something that Sherina said, "a higher dream".
To some others, I would just say, "I don't know, see how." Well, no one is certain about his/ her future right? But actually I'm not that 'don't know', but my plan/ dream depends on some terms and conditions.
Talking about ambition...
I told Wanyu (my colleague) that I think I can be a behavioral therapist my whole life and be happy with it. If possible, I don't mind going back to university 5 or 10 years from now. But ya.. let's see next year, okay? Hopefully I can really become a behavioral therapist. The thing is I was only involved in this field 2 times, but there's this thing in my heart that it seems like this is what I want. Of course hopefully in the loooong future, I can open my own therapy centre :) Or at least, I hope I have enough experience before I can achieve the dream 'similar-to-my-piano-teacher', having a clinic/ therapy centre at home so I can watch over my kids at the same time!! Hahaha..
My other ambition is "anything related to children" (doesn't sound like an ambition huh?). Opening a kindergarten with April :), or being a kindergarten teacher, or child psychologist, or even summer camp faciliators for children& teens! Hahahaha.
But but.. above all these ambitions, my first ambition to be ready to change my plan/ ambition for something better in this life. Something that is very precious and it's indeed a mission too. Some people might call me stupid because I'm 'still' young and I should have pursued my 'ambitions', but the best friends in my life understand that if the time comes, then this is a much better dream. It has its own challenge, but ya.. must be ready you know. In the books that Father gave me or in conversations that I had with Pilar or in the spiritual reading books, it is precisely because you are young, you can be more generous to God, give up more, and change direction of your ambition more easily.
And of course, above all, at the end of the day, we all wish to be saints :) how? by doing His will :)
Pray for me,k? :)
