1.Your ideal mate has a sense of humor and is lively.

Some sentences and phrases were highlighted because they really are true about me. Especially the adventurous outgoing and carefree part. I am a wild child at heart. I do not like to be tamed. And I feel like that these days. I feel like my heart is not supposed to be here, to what I am studying or taking up right now. To be honest, I feel that my course is hard and I really don't like it. I don't like Science. And my course is full of Science subjects which makes it difficult for me. My head can't manage the terms that I need to know and keep memorizing. I feel like if I continue on this path, I'll be a completely different person.

A friend who is now studying in Korea serves as an inspiration to me. I admire her because she pursued her dream. She is so liberated and free. I want that. I really do. She advised me to apply for that scholarship that she got. I prepared my documents. I was just starting from college then. I was busy. I was still unsure. And so, I didn't meet the deadline and it was too late. I didn't pass the requirements. She found out that I didn't apply and although she didn't tell me, I knew she was disappointed. I passed out on a rare chance. I, too, was disappointed in myself.

But now, I've made up my mind. I want to pursue that scholarship. I'll wait until the time comes when I will be given a chance to apply again. I know it is going to be hard there but I'm ready to face it. I just feel incomplete here. I feel like a robot just going with what everybody expects or wants. I want this for myself and I will get it. I am saddened to leave my family and friends especially my Mom and Dad but I need to find my own path. I HAVE TO. I need to start being independent. I need to spread my own wings. I'll eventually come back to them. It's just five years.

But right now, I'll just enjoy every waking moment with them and my friends. Hopefully, I do get to spread my wings and fly.
