Dream.
Well, repeating the title is a cliche way to start a post, but just bare with me. I'm trying to emphasize what this post is going to be, so I'm going to say it again: Dream. I am pretty much sure people are surely familiar with words, or, shall we look up the dictionary to find out what "Dream" means? Nah, I'm not going to skim thru a dictionary to show you what that means, try look it up yourself.
When it comes to dreams, mine are always constantly changing time after time. I wanted to be an astronaut when I was 10 years old. I was obsessed with space, moon and of course, debatable aliens. I dedicated myself to be an astronaut that time.
As I grew older, my dad often took me to his office which was basically a military base. I could still remember clearly that one of my dad's staff would take me to a enormous hangar while my dad was working on whatever he was assigned to that day. I saw many fighters as well as other military aircrafts. Again, apparently those iron birds casted a spell on me in secret because I could not stop thinking about them (frankly, I still do until now). As you all could probably have guessed, I changed my mind, and I thought being a fighters pilot could be fiercely impeccable.
Being a military pilot apparently was my main goal, until I finally got into secondary school and met bunch of science freaks. And finally, one day, I thought to myself "I'm a girl, I dont know if I can stand doing the tough training on military. But my soul is made for aircrafts. I should probably just make one?" So, there it was, a well-thought plan was made, I wanted to be an engineer. I applied for Aeronautical Engineering when I finally graduated secondary school. Too bad, I was rejected by the university that I applied for.
From all of those "dreams" which were constantly shifting, there's one thing I have always been aiming at: going and living abroad.
Oh well, look at what I'm doing right now, still in Indonesia, doing my thesis and probably would look for a job in Indonesia.
So much for a dream, eh?
Well, but I have also achieved and experienced things I have never even dreamed of.
But hey,
I let go of that dream to work on Aviation industry since I took chemical engineering and I thought that there was no way I could be in that industry. But now, I would do my Internship in an airport service company. My thesis would probably be related to that industry as well? Slowly but sure I feel like that the dream once I felt far away and unreachable, is right in front of my eyes now.
My point is, you need to have dreams. They set out who you want to be, who you want to become. But sometimes, the path doesn't always as you expected and once that happens, you just need to broaden you mind and get on with it.
Super excited for the internship, though!
