Career choices

I chose my career a few years ago. I've to recognize that when I was a child, my dream was to be a doctor, but in my adolescence I realized that the blood wasn't my favourite thing to work with, so I decided that my future would be the computers :P

Now, I have to prepare one exam to get my major in computer science, the one I think was the biggest goal on my whole career. However, I used to put me some intermediate goals like get my intermediate degrees, or get good qualifications in the exams, or deal with the university, work and sports at the same time. I think it was because to get a long-term goal, you first have to meet intermediate goals, and go step by step.

And the other important factor are choices. Because choices helps you to meet goals, so you have to think very well about your decisions. Simple decisions that you make today, can affect your future in many years.

I learned the real importance of choices about two months ago, when I was informed to won a scholarship to come to Ole Miss, because the choice to live in Uruguay (about 7 years ago), and go to the university wich I choose, among other things, made possible to me to be here today.

  1. I agree that it takes long long time to realize a big dream. At first it may seem that we never realize our dream, but It's important to continue to make one step and never give up.

  2. I agree with you that to get a degree is a long-term goal. It is like a big stair in which you must go step by step with sufficient care to keep always on the go.

    Consequently, I´m also with you in the fact that every day choices can make a huge difference in the final results.
