Contemplating Leaving School
For the last year or so I’ve been contemplating leaving school. I’ll never forget the day that I skipped out of my chemistry final. I totally wasn’t prepared, so it wasn’t like I was going to pass the class, and I ended up going to the beach that day. I remember seeing tons of baby jogger strollers, which made me think about my future. I didn’t really see myself toughing it out through all the stress and anxiety of having to run down a Masters degree, particularly when I didn’t even want the thing. I had only enrolled in my father’s alma mater to make him happy, but now as I looked at this one shiny new baby joggerI totally realized what I wanted to do.Back in high school I was really into design and architecture. I always saw myself as being an artist who was able to use his talents to navigate through the corporate world. My sister had become an elementary school teacher five years after she graduated high school, and although she’s doing okay, she always tells me how bored she is. She says she does weird things like spend money on expensive Longchamp bags, but that it doesn’t make her happy. She always tells me that I should follow my heart, so I decided to do just that.
