I’ve been waiting for a reply from NTU for months. I was nervous when October came… they said they would let me know if I got into the program by first week of October. One week passed, no reply.
I began to start imagining my life and the choices I would have to make next if I don’t get into NTU’s Master program. It was scary, I don’t know what to do with my life. I was also frightened when I thought about my life after getting accepted into NTU, because there’s a good chance I might not get in. The disappointment would be so tremendous, I even planned on applying one week annual leave from my work.
Some advice me not to call NTU and just wait for their letter, some encouraged me to call and just get this load off of my mind. When I finally did…. I cried.
I got into NTU.
I called my parents and they were shocked cause I sounded like I was crying “I am crying, because I’m so happy. Are you proud of me?”
For the first time in my life, I feel I deserved to be felt proud of. I’m going to be a graduate student, and in two years, I have a brighter future ahead. It’s not that I don’t like the company I’m working for, the company’s great, the work is horrible. I don’t want to be an office girl for the rest of my life, I don’t want to end up a nobody. I have dreams, ambitions, goals, and now I have more choices.
I’ve set a rough plan for myself since I was 16. I wasn’t the typical straight As student like my peers, I was “straight As” for partying, having the time of my life, doing whatever I wanted. I told myself, as long as I don’t waste my life away, as long as the end game I become a useful person, it’s OK to play for now. Back then, it was probably an excuse for my rebellious self to have fun.
I think someone up there really favors me to have let me 撒嬌 (behave like a spoilt child) for so long, and still fulfill my wishes and dreams. Thank you. Thank you very much.
