I went for a talk on attending universities overseas & pathways today
For me, I feel like itz really useful
I feel firmer about my lawyer dreams
I learn that I should probably stick to it
Beautician and de rez, which I used to dream 'bout,
doesn't seem like a considerable career to me anymore (nawt really anyhow)
All my life, I've dreamed bout studying medical (used to) and law,
which has de same similarities,
A-Level is required pre-u
I really hope that I can make it
I've done some research on top law universities in the US, UK & Australia
US
1. Yales Law School
2. Harvard Law School
3. Stanford Law School
(Law School Rankings in US)UK
1. Cambridge Law School
2. Oxford Law School
3. LSE Law School
Australia
1. University of New South Wales Faculty of Law
2. Sydney Law School
2. Melbourne Law School
No doubt Yales has taken over Harvard's position in present
Still, my first choices are always Harvard Law and Stanford Law
Somehow, Yales sounds too 'political' to me
and Harvard's still a top top school for overall judgement, so... :P
And yeah, I realize that my dream's kinda hard to come true
still, I'll give it my best attempt :)
My Bias(:D) University
1. Harvard Law School
2. Stanford Law School
3. Cambridge Law School
4. Oxford Law School
-Backup 'Bias'
5. University of New South Wales Faculty of Law
6. Sydney Law School
7. Melbourne Law School
8. National University of Singapore
I don't know, really hard to come true, at least no.8 will.
But who knows? I might end up somewhere nawt so popular but has equally high qualifications.
Depends.
How nice if I can make it to my top 4 love >.<
Yales is not bad in this case =.=
(sorry, I aim too high)
What do they always say?
Always aim for the sky,
for if you fail,
at least you can reach the clouds.
Anyway, I was really excited after the talk this afternoon
and I told my mum everything
She didn't sound too pleased ):
She said that she hoped I'd study local or the furthest Singapore for my years in university
And only transfer to the top top ones which I love so much at the last period
Last year? Last term?
Who knows what does she mean?
I seriously reject!
I want full experience!
I don't know what is she thinking
Worried about the fees? ( I know that I'm not born in a super wealthy family.)
Worried that I'll never come back to my family? ( Uh-huh, she should, sometimes I seem like one who would choose success over everything...)
Worried about me? ( True, I'm not the least bit independent.)
What else? I do nawt know.
I've made a decision, I'll work my way to get a scholarship to my ideal schools.
Then my mum will not have any excuse to retain me (sorry, I promise I'll not forget my family, ever)
I don't know if I'm more matured to think this way.
1. I picked my pathway. A realistic one, lawyer. Not some random fun jobs like beautician, designers, models...
2. I'm willing to give up things for success, if it's a glamorous one.
3. The ASEAN Scholarship doesn't sound so important anymore. I can still work hard if I stay here, right? So, I shall just cool down about the scholarship. It's good if I get to spend more time with my family and friends. I do not know what will happen in the future. My plan is to never come back..
4. I love being myself. God has given me enough. I finally realize that I'm to take over and work for everything I ant from now on. Not blaming God for every flaw of mine.
Or am I being mean?
Or both at the same time?
I don't know. I'm confused.
That's all. Sorry if I bore you. I just need to share my thoughts.
I might share one again on the career exhibition next Thursday.
Check it out if you're somewhat interested. :)
(yawn)
Good night.
I still have to attend for activities the whole day through tomorrow...
