I was talking to Angie and Hui Lin today about childhood ambitions when I realised what mine used to be. It isn't being a doctor, or lawyer, or businesswoman. I wanted to be a criminal psychologist. I wanted to work in the police force, to understand the psyche of those(some psychotic) criminals and to prevent them from harming others again. It looked fun on TV. Interrogating the criminals made the psychologists so focused and cool. This was my primary/lower secondary ambition until I reached upper secondary and realised that I enjoyed reading (mostly magazines!) and writing. Then I told myself I would like to work in a magazine publishing house or to be a journalist. This ambition lasted me till my early years of university. After taking Sociology, I discovered that I could combine my ability to write and analyse why societies are the way they are, and give an alternative voice our society needs. I learned why people acted the way they did in different cultural settings, why people would dig their nose if everyone did it together as a sort of ritual, why we have emotions, why suicide rates were higher in certain places... oh the sorts. In a year's time, I'll be wearing my graduation gown. What am I going to be? I don't know. But one thing is for sure, with faith, I am going to do the thing I am passionate in, make full use of the gifts God has given me through education and allow me to shine as a testimony for our Lord wherever I am. Give me the faith just like what (King) David had, Lord. |
