Re: Curiousity Struck the Future School Counselor...

Well, let's see....
I started freshman year as Mechanical Engineering major.
I'm now a second year student and my major is "Humanities/Social Sciences."
But I'm thinking about becoming a Computer Graphics major.
And, if all of that falls through, I might go back to my original plan...

Mechanical Engineering undergrad followed by Medical School to become a pediatrician.

I guess you could say my life is still up in the air right now.

Also, a friend of mine brought up a good point. I've known her since I was...well, a toddler. When I told her my major (mechanical engineering, at the time) she looked at me surprised. She said she had expected me to be a teacher or do something to teach or help other people. This seriously made me consider doing something teaching related just so I can continue my support in FIRST.

To me, being in FIRST is the biggest learning experience anyone can have. I want to give that experience to everyone I can, be it now or thirty years down the line.

So, I guess, I'm not really sure yet. Yeah, it's a little strange to be a third year college student and still trying to figure it out, but that's okay in my book. I'm going to be cheesy now and quote a song (hey, I'm BandChick, that's what I do), but I guess to me it's inspirational:

"Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t."
