Earlier this week, I met with a couple of my closest friends and my mentor; we had dinner and talked about college and how our plans were different from before. It made me nostalgic about the past, it also made me re-think what's happening my life right now. When I was in grade school, I was part of the top students of my batch, editor-in-chief and feature writer for our school newspaper, the always-class officer and all around bibbo-kid. That time, I was so sure that I was going to take journalism in college and I’m going to be a feature writer. Then came high school, I lost track of what I want – I was in the come-what-may stage of my life and I guess, it helped that I enjoyed high school for what it is – the fun and the struggle of growing up. During my junior year, when you had to decide where you want to go to college, I just sure of one thing – It had to be in the field of Communication Arts. Luckily, Assumption College offered Communication Arts Major in Media Production which was everything that I want. A few years back when I was in my last year of college, my mother told me whenever we go to Glorietta and Greenbelt when I was young, my dad would see Assumptionistas in the mall and he kept saying he wanted to have an Assumptionista daughter (And he has now an Assumptionista daughter! ). He never did mention it, he never pressures me into anything – he wants me to choose what I really want. In college, I thought I had it all figured out – I was an uno student, student-leader and all around bossy-girl (Ha ha) I was so sure that I was going to be a film producer / director after college. Looking back on my paper that we did for Mr. Potrido in Theo class, I planned on being an film production apprentice after college, then sooner or later, be able to produce or direct a film under Star Cinema. I was reading it and I was like “What was I thinking?” It was very idealistic, but I also realized that on the very least that time, I knew what I wanted.
