“The Risk Taker and The Ranter”
I picked a
random Psychology student and asked him, what is the deeper meaning of the word
risk taker? And he answered me “Hindi ko po alam”. I really don`t know why I’m
so eager to learn the meaning behind the word ‘risk taker’. Is it only me or it
really has an unfathomable meaning behind that fighter word, maybe like that
student, I also don’t know.
I
am once a Nursing student, why did I choose that course? Maybe because it`s my
Mother’s dream for me or maybe that course is meant for me, but I was wrong
that time because that course just took
one year of my life, I won’t say that I waste my time to that course but
I regret writing it on my application form. For a year, all I did was to study
human body but it also made me happy at some point because I saw my best of
friend during that year.
After
a year, I decided to shift my course from Nursing to Mass Communication,
Broadcasting without the knowledge of my parents, I put all my courage filling
up that form and writing Broadcasting as my first choice. During my
application, my Mother learned that I shifted my course and she didn’t even
utter a single protest to it that’s why I think she`s cool to it, but suddenly
I received a silent treatment that lasted for a month.
Even
though I don’t know if I’ll pass that time, I still took the risk because I
know that, that time is a do or die choice, it will give a big impact to my
future and fortunately I passed the shifters exam, I don’t know if I became a
risk taker with that simple act.
As
I wake up with a degree of my dreams I actually realize that yes, I am a risk
taker. It’s a process of a decision wherein you need to sacrifice a thing and
do what you want without even an assurance. I sacrifice the dream of my loving
parents just to achieve my own and yes, I can call myself a selfish asshole for
that, but that can hinder me from reaching my dreams and doing what I want
because I didn’t regret disobeying my parents, not now that I know that they
are happy for me finishing my course and contented seeing me walking to the
stage wearing my Academic Gown and getting my Diploma.
It’s
worth the wait and the fight. Watch me finding my dream job and fighting all
the hindrance that may come into my way.
