Well hello there. I haven't blogged in a while and my friends and I said that we would all blog tonight so that we can say that we have.
So as you are aware or not whatever, I have been stuggling to make a decision about what to do for next year. Several things keep going around in my mind like should I study or should I work...I had no idea until I thought about how people always say that you should do something that you're passionate about. I thought about this and it really made me think about what I was passionate about. My first thought was that I wasn't passionate about anything but that wasn't very true.
I have always had a love for cars. Ever since I was little I've always known every make and model of car on the road as well as the size of it's engine and how fast it would be able to go. I've always known that sort of thing ever since I was about 4 years old. This is what I'm passonate about. All of my free time is wasted on car sites and I'm always looking at cars that are for sale. I'm continually retaining information about them and researching everything to do with them. I know that it is very unsteroetypical for a girl to know those sorts of things but I've grown up around cars and have always had a secret love for them.
It also kinda annoys me when people can't tell the difference between cars. There are some people I know that can't even tell the different between a hatch and a sedan. I mean come on people it's not that hard. I believe that I would be good at doing something in the automotive industry because I've grown up around it and I have that love and passion for it. Some say that if you have that passion than you are able to do anything you wanted. Oh how I hope this is true. If you love something that much then surely you'll be able to do something in relation to it. Otherwise there's reslly not much hope for anyone. Everyone has a passion, some might think it's weird that people have a love and passion for sport to vise versa about grades and things like that. Everyone's different, we should all accept people for who they are.
I've been thinking this way for a couple of years now but I just haven't said anything about it to anyone except my mum. So when I mentioned it to some of my friends today they seemed a little bit shocked about what I have been thinking about doing. I was really surprised by their expressions. Of course not all of them know but whatever. I'm sure as soon as I post this then they'll have a pretty good idea about what I want to do.
Anyway I was looking today for some course that I would be able to do with automotive and I found this AMAZING course that I would be able to do. It involved all of these amazing car companies that I've always wanted to be involved in and they let you do 1 year paid work experience with any of these companies. I was just like OMG OMG OMG OMG I have to go to this uni. Only one problem...IT'S IN MELBOURNE!!! Why are all the good things in Melbourne? It's so unfair. Now I don't know what to do. I have to completely go back to square one.
I really don't want to do that but I don't want to go to Melbourne either. My home is here and and all of my friends are here as well. But on the other hand I also want to chase my dreams and get into the industry that I believe is amazing. It might not be for everyone but if everone did the same thing then everything would be horribly boring. Plus if everyone was suppose to stick to the "girly" professions or the more "manly" professions then nothing would have changed since the 1900's. It's unfair how some people still think that men and woman should stick to the jobs that they were "designed" to do but what about the woman that are designed to become macanics or the men that are designed to be childcare works (it was the first thing I thought of)? How are they able to find something they are passionate about it if they are being resticted by societies views of what type of jobs they should do. Men and women can do anything they want and any profession they want to do. I just don't want people to judge me because of what I want to do when I graduate. I don't think I could handle being told that I shouldn't be doing something that I love. That would just be cruel.
Wow I can't believe I said all of those things. Anyway I shall be going now to doing something other than ramble...
(My post title really has nothing to do with the subject it's just something that my friends said today ;P)
I never knew you were into cars. That's awesome, though. Definitely aspire to do something with cars if that's what you want to do. It'll make everything much more worth it if you enjoy your career.
ReplyDeleteI'll rely on you to help me with my car issues if I ever have them, because I know nothing about cars. At all. =P
I really like this post. *High five*
