My Dream Job

 How would you define your Dream Job? Is it describable? How will that reflect you as an individual? 

What is your Dream Job?

    As we progress and near the end of our Senior High School journey, many questions arise. What will be your plan after graduation? Where will you study? What will be your course? But at the end of the day, knowing your ultimate goal is a big mystery.

    As I applied to different universities, rigorous requirements like writing an essay about yourself to show you are qualified and deserving of admission are normal. However, as I began to write one of the essays needed, I started to wonder, what do I truly want? From 4th grade, I had dreamt of being all sorts of things (just not being a doctor or anything related to medicine). My parents persuaded me to be an engineer, a teacher, and all professions. But at the end of it all, the big dilemma is that I am the only person who can decide on it on my own.

    In 9th grade, I have a particular subject that really interests me, and it is something that I know will lead me to a bright future and a path that will make my parents proud. My fascination for Economics started to grow; little by little, I have started reading articles about the Philippine economy and some of the most significant economic failures around the globe. In short, I finished my Junior High School confidently with the vision of being an Economist one day.

    My parents' backgrounds will play a vital role in my dream job, as both are really hands-on and very articulate when it comes to our studies. My mom is an Accountant, while my dad is a simple employee with a degree in Business Economics.

    Fast forward to the end of my Senior High School, college application results start to unveil, resulting in many of my prayers being answered. I have chosen 3 different courses to apply for, B.S. in Accountancy, A.B. in Economics, and Business Studies. Every night, I pray to God that his will be done. I know my capabilities as an individual will never be enough and will always lack, but I know that if I have him beside me, everything will be alright.

    Knowing that both of my parents have backgrounds in the programs I have applied for, they always have their insight about my choices; I don't blame them, though, since I understand that they only want what is best for me and my future. As I saw the result of the priority university I applied for, I knew that it was really God's way of leading me to the path of future success and accomplishment.

    Regardless of any job or career, my ultimate goal will be to help the indigent families in our society; as cliché as it may sound, I have always felt the need to step up and help people regardless of their background. As I end this, I would like to emphasize that I have no definite dream job, but what I have is an actual goal that I want to pursue; and I will do everything in my capability to accomplish that.
