The link above will bring you to an article I came across today that I enjoyed, if only because it helps me justify my life choices.
I really believe in this though. As a recent university graduate I sometimes struggle with a bit of anxiety over my life. Part of me thinks I need to be either entering grad school or starting my permanent career, but a bigger part of me feels like there is so much more for me to get out of this time in my life. What this author says is true; grad school will happen, a career will happen, I will settle down into my life one day. But right now… right now I am young and responsible only for myself. Right now I am going to be selfish and ambitious in the ways I want to be.
Anyone reading this blog because they are thinking about teaching abroad or studying abroad or just travelling for the sake of travelling, don’t second guess those ambitions. You’ll never regret seeing/doing/learning more at the expense of starting a career later.
