Purpose

Purpose--We are all now at a point where we are questioning our individuality. After years of schooling, we have finally gotten into the point we have been preparing for all our lives: The future. Now that almost all of us, HS graduating class of 2005 has graduated, majority of us are still at a lost as to where we really belong. Some of us may be going off to further their education, some may already be tied to their family businesses, some of us are probably off to great frontiers.

Through Grade School and High School, we have all been able to go through each and every day without much stress. We know what every day would bring, we know what the following year would bring us, we had a path to take and we knew where it was ending. Every year we would be getting a course outline as to what we will be covering for the year. We had a countdown as to how many more topics we need to cover before we were told that we could proceed to the next level.

Sometime before graduating High School, we were all asked to make decisions that could change the course of our lives: We were asked to fill out college application forms. It's not really the school we chose, or the grades we get during the exams, but the specific fields we choose to undergo for around 4 more years. We were heading off to venture through something we (should) enjoy.

Now, college was a blast. We get to do what we think we know and want the most. We get to experience all these things with people we thought we had a lot in common with. (After all, they did choose the same path as I did.) But it still really wasn't that much different from High School. Our day to day problems basically consisted of midterms, finals, projects, and basically more projects. During our course orientation, we were all given these course flowcharts, that basically told us everything we need to cover to be able to complete the course. Every sem, all our professors would hand out syllabus, to know exactly what topics we were going to cover, how much projects we would be doing, how much exams we would be taking, basically our whole 3 months per course, and our whole course flow has been given to us even before we even began.

Now we've completed all those flowcharts, we have acquired these diplomas we could proudly display to the world. We have course cards, transcript of records, resumes, and projects we could show to prove that we have completed, and was able to make use a part of our lives wisely. We have done everything they've asked of us, NOW WHAT?

Now we're all off to the real world, off to communicate to the globe. We all have our dreams, aspirations, goals, and future. Not all our dreams would be fulfilled, and we won't really know which ones would come true, or which ones are right for us, maybe until the day we die. Everyday lives change, people change. You don't know, tomorrow you just might wake up and realize that you took a very wrong turn and has gone off to the opposite direction of where you should be heading. Nobody really knows what they're meant to do. We may sometimes feel that we already do, but one way or the other, things may just change and then you're just lost in the world.
