My first ambition and the current pursuit

We all have this thing we all want to be when we were all kids, kids all over the world are influenced by the environment and things they see at the first stage of their life to choose a future ambition, but things get clearer as they grow up. Well, I’m sure many of you can relate, in my case, it was a bit different and funny likewise.

While growing up, I have always loved being in the science department, I just love anything science, my parent had high expectations of me studying any science course in the university, I remember when I was still in primary school, in some countries this stage is known as junior high school, the school announced the career day where every student have to state what they would want to be in future and dress in that same career attire to school.

I told my mom the information when I got back home, she asked me what I would like to be in the future, deep down I already have the answer because it has always been my dream, I told her I would like to be an Astronaut,  she didn’t understand because it is not in the top career in our country, she was like, ok what do astronaut do, I told her they fly out of the earth to observe the earth, she said, and how they do they plan to fly out of the earth? I told her they will fly in a rocket that looks like an airplane, she said OK, when your dad gets back home, let him know.

My Daddy was home early and I was glad because I couldn’t withhold the joy within me, I wanted to tell him everything that has happen and about the career day in school, after he had changed his cloth and had taken a shower, I sat beside him and explain myself, I told him I had a strong desire to be an astronaut, he said to me, son that’s not the problem, how do we get your costume for career day, anyways when it was career day, I dressed like an electrical engineer because that's my dad profession, yet I keep on chasing the dream, after I finish my junior secondary school, that was when I realize that the path to be an astronaut wasn’t what I think it was,

I thought if I had good grades, study hard and have a good sense of determination I would be able to, yet it might work in some other countries, not mine, I doubt if any university teaches that, and for you to study any profession, you have to go the university. The system was against my dream, the university was against it, anyone I tell will just laugh me off, at a young age, it was very depressing. At that point, I had no choice, I drop everything in science and focus more on Art and commerce. 

My current pursuit

Since I was unable to complete my first ambition, it gave birth to a new fire inside me, a new spark, after I went fully into art, I began to enjoy it more, I studied law, economics, and many others, I don’t want the same fate that befell me to happen to some other kids, the new generation, I want everyone to have a dream and pursuit it after I finished my senior secondary school, I had the ambition to become the president of my country, I know it might sound impossible, but on this dream, there is no giving up, I don’t mind if it kills me, I’m ready to do anything to make the system right again, so help me God.

Thanks for reading, I hope everyone chase that ambition they want and gets it, do not give up on your dream, stay strong and true to yourself. Have a nice day.
