(no subject)
I was somewhat bored the past twenty minutes and decided to read back in time in my livejournal.
It's amazing how much I've changed over the years.
But then again, some things never change.
It's funny because as I was reading some of the livejournal posts, I was sending links to a friend and as they were cracking up about some of the things I said, I was doing the same.
I've realized that writing is truly my forte. It's something I enjoy doing, and it's something I truly want to do more of.
However, I have to be honest as well as realistic. I'm frantically finishing up the quarter. I'm exhausted with a little bit of everything to do.
But then I think ahead in life, and I become excited once again. I think about this summer and running a Branch. I just can't wait for it. I think about obtaining an Executive MBA from RIT by 2009. This I definitely can't wait for.
And then there's something I've been contemplating for some time, and that's going for a Ph.D. I've thought about different areas and the area that intrigues me the most is Strategy and Policy. I know a few years down the road that such a topic may not intrigue me as much as it does today, but just knowing that the opportunity is out there for the taking is something that excites me.
I love writing, and it's something I've done a lot of this quarter. I've written papers after papers for my classes as well as case briefs after case briefs for my Cyber Law class. But there's one thing I've noticed, and that is I've become a better writer over time.
I looked at my writing of over four and a half years ago, and I realize that I'm truly fortunate to have such a strong foundation in my linguistic skills. I thank my parents and family (most notably my Grandmother) for instilling such in me. I thank them for pushing me to every limit.
I think about all the conversations I've had with my grandmother and how they've impacted me. Never once was there a shadow of doubt in her mind that I could be who I wanted to be. And this I thank her for. I was just talking to her for a few minutes earlier today as I was driving back from off campus, and she was asking me how my paper was coming along for Entrepreneurship.
It's hard explaining what I told her, but in a lump sum, it was that it is something I'm truly proud of not only for what I was able to incorporate in the paper, but also how I was able to piece together such a difficult formatted paper and make it one of my best literary works.
I wonder where I'll be in a few years. Will I be with Vector? I truly hope so. I love Vector, and I love the opportunity. I also love the various things that are available for me to achieve. I just wonder if I'm cutting myself short by not going to Law School.
These are the thoughts that I ponder consistently. But if I go for a Ph.D., no one can tell me that I've deprived myself of any opportunity. However, I need to think what is in my best interests for my future.
What is it that I want to do? Do I want to be a Business man running my own business? Do I want to be a writer? Or do I want to be a professor? With time, we will be able to tell. And I say "we" because I have a vague idea of what I want to do. The opportunities are endless.
However, at this time I need to cease from my sudden urge to write as I need to sleep and rest for a critical test tomorrow for my Leadership Class.
I shall be back.
