uncertainty
After entering university of Toronto, I have encountered a new level of stress. Interacting with my peers had triggered questions about my future, how I did on assignments and tests, and many other things. Life in the presence is so different from before, and in this process of adjusting to the new environment, the uncertain concerns are bringing me additional stress.Everything seems to be happening so fast, and before you realize, it has been almost two months since school started. In this resourceful and academically outstanding institution, there are so many interdisciplinary studies to choose from in the upcoming years, each leading to different paths and opportunities. I am uncertain about the best options for me – ones that are the most advantageous for my future.
I often hear rumors from upper year students regarding the level of difficulty of courses I am taking and the high fall out rate that occurs at this university. This brings me stress as I imagine myself disappointing my parents and not being able to meet up to their expectations.
It scares me, the thought of failure, but it is the fear that drives me forward. This is all a new stage in life that I must learn to face, urging me to look forward to a new learning experience here at U of T, both intellectually and socially. The challenges that I will encounter are a part of this valuable learning process, for which I am excited to overcome them and grow from each mistake.
Success. How bad do I want it?
