This is the last day of this long writing- challenge-journey and I can’t believe I made it so far. At least, this is a proof showing me that I can finish something, even something so small like that, if I put some work of dedication in it. I can stop beating around the bush and start developing my story on which I am working for two months.
So, back to the point, one thing I am really excited about is : 2016! I am on tenterhooks when it comes to the new year / next year, maybe because I always rise my hopes too high, but I can hardly wait for it. I have big plans for it. At least, starting my master degree, I can barely wait for it to go into UK’s university. I have always had this curiosity of how different is studying in another country, the way of teaching, the clubs in which I can enroll during my study, the people I would meet along the way. The whole experience I would gain, I can feel how my hair prickles when I think about it.
I can’t tell you for how long I have been dreaming for studying abroad. I had in mind to quit my bachelor degree and went studying all over abroad, but I was discouraged by financial difficulties and eventually settled down on finishing my first degree in social science. Little by little, this desire evolved and became a dream that I told myself I would fulfill no matter what. I wouldn’t lie if I said that I was discouraged by some friends, they tried to talk me out of it, not to do it, simply because I lacked financial support. I was told to be unrealistic, day-dreaming, single-minded even irresponsible towards my future, but I didn’t give up. As a result, I have learned another life lesson, that I should just get rid of the negativity in my life and if that means not being a friend with someone, so be it. I am not trying to justify my case, not at all, but it’s one thing to give your friend an open and honest advice when he needs it and other thing to say that he will not succeed and that his head is in the clouds.
Eventually, I have been offered a place in the University of Edinburg, which was one of the brightest moments in this year. I am hoping that in 2016 I will be able to study there.
I am excited about the prospect ahead, what is in store for me in the future and I am ready to take whatever it is with open hands. Without forgetting to hope for the best and to aspire to do my best!
2016, buckle up, I am coming!
