Bro I can feel you! You're struggling. Despite it may be different situations, most parents tend to hope that their kids are able to wear that graduation robes and square mortarboard, proudly holding the degree certificate paper one day. My mum did the same thing to me when I told her that I wanted to enroll in Multimedia Interactive Design instead of Engineering course. They just wouldn't get it.
I am not asking you to quit studying. Afterall I still enjoyed my 4 years boring study life. Remember what you told me? "you learn, you earn!" There's value you may not see it now but you may treasure it in the future. One thing though, if you really failed terribly in your first year exam, you better quit than crying a river!
Since you've decided to take the path, just walk the hell out of it! It's gonna be bloody tons of assignments, endless quiz and tests, many sleepless nights, your job and side-hustles commitment and still counting. No one ever said it's easy but as you titled this post, turn your fear into passion :)
Thank you so so much for committing time to write this comment! Wow, really did it’s job of convincing me to do my best.
Since I have already decided to study, I should give my best and maximize whatever I can learn from it instead of being bitter that i can’t change my environment. You are right!
But after giving my best & if I realize I still can’t cope, then I’ll drop 1/2 of my commitments!!
Thanks for this Sean!!
I didn't even realize I commented so long! I wanted to say more actually haha
Don't always thank me man! Thanks the future you :)
I came from the past, that's why I can relate. See, you've got my points real quick! what a badass fast learner! High 5!
hahahha hi-5! you will be a good teacher/lecturer in the future! very accommodating and patient!
definitely a good father!
Shit! What a sharp eye! I haven't told you that I was actually a private tutor as parttime, but had to quit 2 years ago due to my job commitment and my travelholic addicts.
