I'll take this prompt here and write about an experience I had not long ago. Spoiler Much time has passed since I had been here last. "Returning here was not supposed to happen," I thought. My mind had battled itself many times about returning--mulling over the options, problems, and benefits. I cannot afford to be here. There are too many risks to take. Maybe it's best to think more critically about my future. Maybe I can do just that while here. School has been a struggle for a few years, and I had made that clear to my peers and family. Focus and motivation were difficult to come by, and I had no direction, either. First, computers. Second, wireless security. Then followed business, economics, exercise science, and returned to computers. I'd bounced between a few jobs over a few years, and none were quite related to what I wanted to do for a living--whatever I was doing wasn't what I needed to do. Nothing calmed my mind, and doing nothing was even worse. I worked and worked until my body couldn't handle it anymore, and I still ended up as lost as I was at the beginning. It took me 7066 days to realize that what I wanted to do was right above me--I had written off my fascination and adoration for the nebulae, stars, and planets that called me as mere predilection. Nothing to make a respectable and enjoyable career out of. I'm not even intelligent enough to reach for the stars that tease my eyes in the nighttime sky--there's no reason to jump for them either. Then I reminded myself that astronomers, physicists, computer scientists, chemists, and thousands of others don't touch space through superficial reach either--they work hard to get a piece, a glimpse, a chance to look at what enamors them so. With this in mind, I returned to college. I now have drive. I now have a specific purpose. And with my first semester in a long time under way, I remember the feeling of learning and pursuing what I love. It's good to be back.
