My Current Situation

In life, sometimes you are having a hard time picking and deciding on what is your passion if you will go for it or not, and I'm in that kind of situation. I'm having a hard time deciding on what is my course or what I would take up in college because I told my mom that I would shift. I will no longer take up Engineering but rather Psychology. I feel pressured because when you are in college, you need to pick a course that suits your skills and abilities, and I picked engineering, which is a hard and challenging course. I get stressed all the time about just one subject, and that subject is calculus. I struggled hard and have a failing grade in 3 consecutive terms, that's why I told mom about it, and she agreed because I'm having a hard time as if I will continue studying engineering, my brain can't handle it. I have a weakness in understanding word problems, and I woke up one day telling myself that engineering is not for me. I also feel pressured about my mom, what if she will feel disappointed, and my family because I don't want to disappoint them. I don't like being a failure to them. I did tell them that I will shift, and they agreed. To be honest, I don't have, or I don't like the courses today, all I wanted to do is help people who are in need, writing blogs or something. I like volunteer works like being part of the UN and UNICEF, but in this cruel and unfair world, it will not happen. We will have to study hard and finish a degree in college to be employed. I convinced my mom that I would proceed to BS Psychology, I know that it is a hard course, you need to take a board exam to be called a licensed Psychometrician and take a master's degree if necessary, but I'm willing to take the risk. My other problem is where the school should I study? What is the best school to study BS Psychology? For me, I would like to study at Davao Doctor's College, and I don't like other schools except for DDC, but I need to convince my mom, while my aunt and dad already agreed to it because they say that the most important is I will graduate in college, not like my mom, she wanted me to take an entrance exam at USEP, but I don't like the school, it's hard for me there. I don't get my mom already. I wish to myself that GOD will guide and wake me up because I don't know anymore. I cannot decide on my own, but you have no choice because you are the only one who knows what you like. College is hard. You need to be sure about what course you will take up.

Remind yourself that if you will go to college:

· Think hard on what to take-up

· Don't regret it because that is your choice. You will only regret it if you don't like the course.

· Study hard

· Be motivated

· When picking a course, consider your skills, passion, and abilities, don't just ignore them because, with that, you will know what your course is.

· Take risks.
