I guess, and hope, just few of you have come such a long way and made so much bad decisions when it comes to education. Everything was kinda cool growing up, went to the same primairy school from 2 till 11 years old. High school was allready messy in the first year. First went to the higher level of high school, than in the second year had to switch to the lower level. When there it was all too easy but, never mind, I got my diplome. Went back to the higher level and graduated as well but it took me an extra year cuz I first did the 'lower level' of high school. After these six years I was still not willing to make a choice for college so I got on with the highest of all levels available of high school. But, after a few months I quite.
Desperate of what I wanted to do, I started to work and got help by a special agency of the government that wants to help you choice the study that fits right. Came out that 'Social Work' would be the right option for college. I thought it would be great to help people and after eight months of working (of which 10 weeks in Lloret de Mar, Spain) I started my first college year. Soon after that I went living on my own in the city of my University of Applied Science. After the first year I passed all test but one. And had to go on till the end of the second year to get my 'Propedeuse' (a paper that tells you completed the first year, you can get straight to the University afterwards). I hated it cuz I allready knew I wanna to quite. At the end of the second year I allready got myself an internship for the third year but told my parents that I would quite. They told me I should go for the internship, maybe I liked it a lot and after that year it would only be one year extra to get my bachelors degree. I agreed and started my internship but after few months I hated my education even more. I quite. After a few months of some jobs every here and there I thought that; if I would find a NICE internship, my parents could be right, and than I didn't have to start a whole new education. I started looking for an internship for the second time but too late and ended up in a place I was never interested in. Result: Quite again, this time I even tried harder and made it till end of January...
My parents were upsaid and told me they will no longer pay for any education in the future. I knew that I was going to face some hard times the upcoming years, if I would choose to really keep studying to get any degree.
I than started a training, to get at least some papers for 'a decent job'. Normally this will take 4 years, but with my High school diploma of a higher level than 'average' I could make it in one year. After that one year I decided to work for an extra 6 months before starting something new. I found 'International Business and Languages' as the perfect match.
Until now I've been a great student. Have to pay everything on my own now so I really have to work my but off otherwise I would really be dumb! But, I also really feel that this is what I really want! I got my Propedeuse straight away. The second block was also succesfull, my six months in France was a little more difficult but I passed. And now I'm in the first block of the third year. After this Christmas break I will have exams and start my specialisation. I choose Philosophy and Ethics. Things that are really interesting to me. After this I have an other period of six months abroad for my internship (English or Spanish country/company) and my final fase can also be abroad.
I really hope I will pas this education and be fine with it!! :D
