5 - My "Real Dream"

I am adventurous and curious

I wonder what it's like outside the world

I hear nothing

I see big balls of gases 

I want to see the outside world

I am adventurous and curious

I pretend to fly up to space

I feel like I'm floating in space

I touch the moon's craters

I fear that I won't make it

I cry because it might be impossible

I am adventurous and curious

I understand that everyone makes failures

I say "Sometimes you gotta fall before you fly"

I dream to achieve all my goals
I try to do my best

I hope that my dreams won't be just dreams

I am adventurous and curious 

(My poem from Expository Writing)

Let me ask you something: Do you really want your course/job? Was it really your choice or your parents'?

Well, mine was my choice. When I was still in 3rd year, I still don't know what course I'd take.  But I was like, meh I still got 1 year to decide, so whatever. But then, 4th year came. I panicked because it seems like everyone already knows what they want to do with their life. It's like I don't even have a dream. Well, actually, I was thinking of Information Technology as my choice. It was in 3rd year when I got "fond" of programming. It was the only subject that I liked. But, again, I was still undecided. I wasn't quite sure if that's what I really want to in my life.

To be honest, I really, really, really want to become an astronaut or maybe an astronomer. That's what I put on our yearbook ( I also put "to be a programmer", of course.) It was my dream ever since the first time we've studied about astronomy. I love the stars, the planets, the meteors, the comets, basically everything about astronomy. There's something about them that mesmerizes me.

 I even remembered that in first year,  I almost flunked Science but when we got to the last part, which was Astronomy, I think I was the only one reciting. I was very active that time. I tried to answer all the teacher's questions as best as I could. Anyway, back to the topic at hand. My mother kept on asking me what I really want to do with my life. But I also kept on giving her "I don't know yet"s. I didn't wanna tell her about my dream because I know it's impossible. When I told her about it, she said that my dream was too high. She didn't approve because she said it was a high-end job and I understand. And it's okay, really. I've known it from the start. So, I thought about IT very deeply. I thought about it almost everyday. Hahaha exaggerating, I know. But, really though. I kept on asking opinions from my family and friends. Eventually, I figured it out, so I chose Computer Science. I'm kind of excited to learn about programming. But still, to become an astronaut is my dream.
