Who am I? Who are you?! If you can come up with an answer in just a few sentences I’d be amazed. Truth is, I don’t know who I am. Not yet, anyways. I know who I want to be and for now that’s enough. I don’t want to be defined, I want to be able to try new things; to reinvent myself over and over again. Isn’t that what college is for? I know that I want to be successful, but I’m still learning how I define success. Is it good grades, good friends, a good job, or is it all three? So for now all I can tell you is this; I am Sabina, I am dedicated to my family and friends, my school work, and my future, and that’s all I know for now. The rest is history in the making.
I wouldn’t say, necessarily, that I’m concerned about college but rather what comes next. Throughout high school all you would hear is that “they won’t take this in college, nobody will hold your hand, it’s real life!” But is it really? I like that nobody holds our hands, it keeps me on my toes. But it’s not exactly the real world quite yet. My top concern would have to be figuring out what I am doing here. Yes, I’m a finance major, I want a successful career, a successful life, but how? Figuring it out, what ever “it” is, is my top concern. I just don’t want to waste my time or anybody else’s for that matter. So for now I’m just going to roll with the punches and see where that gets me.
My college career is already a different world than my high school career. In high school I was concerned about my resume, joining every club and studying all the time. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still focused on these things but in college it’s for myself, not for anybody else. I have found myself taking part in things that I truly care about, and not just because they look great on a sheet of paper. I joined an organization, for example, called AIESEC dedicated to a global perspective. In little over one month college has broadened my horizons further than my four years in high school ever did. As far as college changing me, we’ll just have to wait and see!
