I totally get youu!!! I'm in tourism management now, but I was once doing international relations because I felt like politics was very important not only to me but to my home country. but being surrounded by so many other students who seemed to excel and be way more driven than I could even chalk up to really made me feel so out of place and overwhelmed and behind in academics and in conversations.
when you get to a certain age still unsure about what's right for you while all your peers march on, there's so much dread you're left with. but I hope that you could find comfort in this chapter and realize that you and your efforts are enough! your love for your country and for us other developing countries out there means so much. thank you for your hard work and contributions, I appreciate you more than you know
Omg thank you so much for this! I honestly teared up reading your reply. It was so comforting to hear someone else went through the same thing as me thinking everyone else seems to move forward so confidently. I always wanted to join a non-profit and just help out especially what my country has been thru. I didn’t want to sound like a savior or anything, just wanted to use the skills I have in the future to help out that’s all. Your words really made me feel less alone and reminded me that what I’m are doing does matter even if it does not always feel like it. Thank you for seeing me and for being so kind like you have no idea how much that means right now(ಥ﹏ಥ) ╥﹏╥
Bruh song uyun is literally me. I felt like that my entire and still feel like this too. I’m in the health science major pursuing my bachelor’s so I can join a PA program and all my life I felt so stupid and the only reason I chose this was money but also work in a organization to help developing countries like my home country. I don’t necessarily have a dream but more of I chose this might as well stick with it type shi and I still feel stuck with what I chose cuz I took my time in college and I’m a junior undergraduate but 25 my biggest fear is not getting in my program cuz I keep getting lower grades than what ppl usually get. Everyone I meet that’s a PA track has such good grades and smart and I feel so slow and stupid that I sometimes feel like quitting. Song uyun you are me and I am you
