Lessons
I’ve always known, and heard from personal stories of people I know, that it never does good to force a kid to pursue a line of study he or she has no interest in. When my brother passed the entrance examination in my alma mater, everyone in the family were so happy that we sort of all became half deaf to his pleas that he’d rather study somewhere else – in a school that caters to courses that he’d really want to take. I loved that place, and he did, too, for the entire year he stayed there. Now that another academic year is about to start, he told us again that maybe it’s time for him to transfer. He’s been looking at sample sites of IT job search and he realized that IT is where his heart is and where he is now wouldn’t give him that. Well, I agreed with him. Besides, he told me he’d compose music for one of my old poems so how can I not be supportive?
