The obligation to make choices in life can get pretty stressful, especially when it determines your whole life and future. As a teenager I was told to follow whatever I had to do, the basics, of course, learning, studying yada yada yada. Life was easy, I can't say I was a great student, a genius, or a smarty pant. However, I was qualified to enter IIUM academy at the age of 15 and that was the whole "mission". It wasn't all great but yeah sure I passed it. Little did I know it was only the beginning. Choosing a degree major is H A R D though. Others may already have their dream job "oh I wanna be a lawyer that's why I'm taking law". In my case, I would say "I have no dream I ain't no Martin Luther" it was hard to decide. To make a decision that I will have to face for 4 years and perhaps live with for the rest of my life. At the end of the day, I chose what I like, what I enjoyed studying...only to get criticisms from many. I did ignore the negativity at first, but I can't do it forever, I'm human too..with feelings at that. There are other choices that I have to make which were also a mistake due to my selfishness. Am I disappointed with myself or the expectations? What other ways can I prove to make them realize that I can do more, by myself without others' help and opinions? To choose or to follow, or will this be my forever dilemma?
