Perspective

But time is on your side, it's on your side now
Not pushing you down and all around
It's no cause for concern

Come on, oh my star is fading
And I see no chance of release
And I know I'm dead on the surface
But I'm screaming underneath

How many people have difficult situations that have to deal with each and every day. In D.C, we learned about inner conflict and then the pressures from those around us, that we face every single day. We learned about different cultures from the people in the class. Why do we believe in what we believe in? Are our thoughts our own? Our professor made us question everyone and everything. Their actions, their intentions, the outcome of the action. Then he taught us theories that applied to these everyday scenarios, we learned about situations and people in the past who went through the same exact thing. We broadened the subject from the people in our classroom, to everyone in the world; world cultures and conflicts. It was under the category of social sciences and I knew that loved researching up theories and ideas like this, I just did not know how to title it. Now I know what it is, and there is so much to learn, to explore and finally find something that I am really interested in, made me so happy.
This combined with the pyschiatry are my main intrests and I would love to pursue a job in either field. My mother is always telling me, you need to know what you want to do with your life, and now I do. This trip, combined with the one to Kenya in Feburary, definitely put things in perspective.
