There has been a lot of things going on these past weeks in my live. One of them having to due with colleges and course selections. I mean, I've had to give a lot of thought to my still undecided future, having meetings with the school counsellors so they could try to guide me to decide what I want to study in college. Visiting different universities around Peru to see which fits me best and having university related conversations with different people to see their point of view have stressed me out.
Last Thursday Mr. Bailey, the school counselor came to talk to us and gave us a small chat about our college applications. One thing from the chat really stood out to me and has become a major game changer in my life.
Ive been raised with the idea that I need to go to an elite university in order to be a successful person. Through this meeting I have slowly started to realise that this ideology is not necesarly true.
I am starting to believe that I should go to a college that best fits my learning characteristic and that makes me happy. I mean if you can get into a top college and manage to be happy on it, good for you. But if a top college would not give you and amazing learning experience, then there are hundreds of exelent schools for you.
I still have a long way to go and more time to think about choosing the perfect college.
