The year I started applying to universities I went through a messy internal conflict. Each day that passed my anxiety grew bigger and a single question kept cropping up: What profession would determine my path in life? The more I looked for an answer, the more questions came up.
My dream since I was a child was to be a doctor, more specifically a plastic surgeon as I was fascinated by esthetics, the human body and its mysteries. But, over the years this dream faded because it didn't fit my profile. In the expected year, I was determined to apply for architecture, after having a few lessons on this subject at school. But I did not feel safe and once again I found myself lost at sea with a thousand and one course options. I thought about fashion, administration and even publicity, but nothing seemed to please me completely...
Then I completely turned away from the subject and decided to focus on the present I was living, including school. With that, I realized my taste for humanities and also realizedthat in my personality that I had a strong taste for defending my own ideas and finding arguments to get what I wanted.More specifically I noticed this in arguments I had with my parents when the answer to any question, including "can I go out?" was always "no".
When I least expected it, the answer to the question that most distressed me appeared: Law. Even without knowing exactly what it was I decided to go for it. Despite the turbulence, today I can say with certainty that it was the best choice I have ever made and that I have finally found my course at sea!
