| ♥ Reasons To Fly Firstly I'd like to apologise for my previous post. It's not that there's anything wrong with it. It's just me being numb in the head and don't know what else to do. I don't even think I made much sense back there, so let's just ignore it. To those who could read between my clumsy lines, congratulations. But to those who can't, I can't blame you... LOL! Anyways, here's another topic that has been playing inside my mind a LOT lately. Especially after seeing my juniors happily enjoying themselves overseas. Not many people are lucky enough to be offered to be subsidised to study in a foreign country (unless your parents are super rich!), but many are keen to fight for that spot, which to be honest, have never been part of my things-to-accomplish-in-life list. Honestly! 1. FAME -People want to go overseas because they'll be marked as a very intelligent person. Friends, relatives and neighbours will be curious to know what has happened in your life after secondary education level and it'd be awesome if you could tell them that you'll be studying overseas under a scholarship. Cousins and aunties will envy you and you would have a reason to make other snobby people to look up at you. 2. ADVENTURE -How many times in one's life that you'll get to travel freely in another country. A tourists visa could only last at most 3 months. When will you have a full three months to waste for an adventure in Europe?You'd have to apply for maternity leave or something if you're working. The best solution is to get yourself an overseas scholarship! While studying and racking your brains off to get good results (so that your sponsor won't scold you and bring you back home), you can plan heaps of journeys across Europe and its neighbouring countries! You can even come back as you feel like it. Why not, you have at least three years to use up! 3. STUDY? -I think this will be the bottom most reason of a person who's flying overseas. Studying could never be a top priority for a student in this new millenium, trust me. It may be a top 3 or top 5, but never will it be no. 1. Why? Didn't those people send us overseas to learn? Didn't those big bosses of big big organisations went through all the trouble to pick the cream of the cream among students to groom to be the best for the future of its company and the future of its people? Wasn't the reason of them sending students overseas is to find the secrets of success of other nations to be brought back to our own country? So what happened? Studying overseas isn't as easy as it looks or sound. Or maybe it's because I'm not bright enough, or maybe it's because my mind-set has never been directed towards this. I've never wished to go this far, yet I've been given the once-in-a-lifetime chance. Have I been treating my luck badly? Am I taking things for granted for the first time in my life? Labels: Spazz |
