Tomorrow will be a significant day, where the 'practicals' end and the real test begins. After 16 years of education, my work life is going to begin. It feels strange and I have this constant feeling of denial. Yet, that wouldn't come as a surprise for someone who has yet to graduate, with the final year project report and presentation in the toll, due for submission less than 2 weeks later. I hope it will start off well tomorrow and by the time I depart for Hong Kong on 16 Jul, a few hours after my last school presentation, I'll be leaving with a contented smile.
Friends would question: why do you start work so early? Not taking a break? It's not a matter of choice to me, though the inertia in me would happily assume status quo in my life. But I'm too eager and impatient, to join the working world outside, to be viewed as an adult, someone capable of putting food on the table. It has been a torture for too long to see my parents toil and struggle to make ends meet. I'm too, tired of holding 3 or 4 part time job all while juggling my studies to support myself. Anyway, since this management trainee program longs only 15 months, it'll be great if I realise that it is where I want to be and continue on the fast track. Else, hopefully, I would have gained enough skills and experience that makes me more marketable for my next career. By then, I should have found out for myself the direction I should head into.
