Finding Path: My Journey of Self-Discovery

Growing up, the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” was familiar. For some, the answer came effortlessly, filled with dreams and aspirations. However, for others, like myself, that question remains unanswered, lingering like a shadow over my sense of self. It’s a disconcerting feeling, a constant question of why we don’t possess the same certainty as our peers. But as I embarked on my journey of self-discovery, I came to understand that it’s okay not to have all the answers right away.

However, when I entered college, I carried this lingering uncertainty with me. Time seemed to be my adversary, ticking away mercilessly. Each passing day brought me closer to graduation and the expectation of choosing a career path. It felt as though time was slipping through my fingers, leaving me standing still while the world moved forward.

At times I couldn’t help but envy my friends and peers who seemed to have a clear vision of their future. They confidently spoke about their dreams, the professions they aspired to pursue, and the impact they wanted to make. Meanwhile, I grappled with the question of what truly resonated with my passions and aspirations.

At times, it felt unfair. I wondered why I struggled to even grasp the direction I wanted to take. But as I began to explore my own path, I realized that life is not one-size-fits-all. Each person carries their unique story, filled with different challenges and triumphs. And sometimes, the weight of those stories prevents us from easily speaking about our dreams and aspirations.

Dreaming About Change: College as a Transformative Journey

Despite struggling to find my path during my college years, I found something bigger. 

College is often seen as a transformative period in one’s life—a time of learning, growth, and self-discovery. This journey not only expands our knowledge but also broadens our horizons and deepens our understanding of the world. Here, we confront the stark realities of discrimination, inequality, violence, and crime that persist in our society. However, it is also here that we find the hope and inspiration to dream of a better future. We find the resources to address the challenges and find solutions.

A Newfound Awareness and Hope

I was aware of some societal issues, but I truly grasped their magnitude and impact in college. Through coursework, discussions, and interactions with my peers, I became more attuned to the deep-rooted discrimination marginalized communities face daily. I witnessed the disparities in access to education, healthcare, and opportunities that perpetuate inequality. I learned about the systemic factors contributing to violence and crime, leaving individuals and communities shattered.

This newfound awareness was both enlightening and disheartening. It was disheartening because I realized that these issues were not isolated incidents or distant problems; they were ingrained in the very fabric of our society. They were visible in the news headlines, the stories shared by friends, and the experiences of those who faced injustice.

The weight of these societal issues began to take a toll on me. Watching the news without feeling a sense of despair and frustration became increasingly difficult. The slow progress in addressing these challenges made me question the systems in place and society’s willingness to adapt. I felt sick about life, witnessing the uphill battle faced by those fighting for equality and justice.

However, amidst the darkness, I found a glimmer of hope. I started dreaming. I dreamt of a world where discrimination is replaced with acceptance. A world where inequality is transformed into equitable opportunities, and violence and crime are replaced by compassion and understanding.

In a world filled with noise and chaos, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and lose sight of our direction.
