Passion... rejuvenation... life
If everyone followed their passion, where would the world be?
I was told that what I do now, I don't have a passion for it. In which may be that is true. My passion for life has died but it lived a slow painless death. I say painless because it didn't hurt me until it died; I know for a fact that if it hurt while it was dying, I would have felt it and been prompt to change sooner.
All I am saying is that, passion is the force that drives people. My passion died as I continued to work in an environment that I was unfamiliar with, with people who weren't as competitive and the drive died.
For homecoming, the Mass Comm department had a social of the Alums and we sat around and talked about what everyone is doing. As I sat in that room, I felt compelled to do better than everyone else, that I needed to succeed above everyone. I was driven to get back home, so that I can sit and redo my resume so that I can compete with the others. Not because I want to show case as I am better, but I know what department I came from and the standard that was giving to me to uphold, and I want to continue to uphold it. I was reminded that as a college student, I had a passion to graduate, to be a great writer and editor. That was my passion, now that I have graduated although the school has changed and the employer has changed, the passion should not have died but intensified and yet I find it hard because of not being able to get to that place. I was so motivated to do better than what I am doing.
