With graduation coming around the corner, with the end of my student life and the start of my working life looming close, I'm feeling really really scared. Its like my entire life is just about to start, my entire future for me to shape, my entire life's story to be written. How should I plan it?
There are so SO many things that I want to do...
I want to travel around the world, to all the rural and poverty-strickenned countries to help children, teenagers, and adults in need of psychological services
I want to earn my doctorate and be a very well-known psychologist, running my clinic (or range of clinics), being invited to give talks in organizations, schools
I want to travel around the world, exploring different type of jobs, different industries, different work environment. I want to have a taste of everything while I'm still young and without commitment
I want to have my own family, with my own cosy home, my cute little kids, and my loving husband. I want to be an amazing mother who juggles work and family appropriately, who sets great example for my children
I want to be able to make a difference in this world, to increase awareness about animal cruelty, women's rights, and teenagers' transition state of turmoil
See....there are so many things that I can imagine myself feeling happy doing them, but I cannot have them all. The first step that I take will carve the future steps, they have to be related, they have to make sense. Traveling all over the world conflicts with starting a family. But on the bottom of all these ideal fantasies, I just want to make sure that my entire lifetime had been a worthwhile journey, that I had made a difference to this world. Is that too idealistic too?
