---------------------------------Letter to my mentor Phil on July 17, 2015----------------------------
Dear Phil,
How are you? It has been a long time since last time I talk with you about my future plan. I want to mention it again now.
I remember you asked me before that if I do not like education field, why I keep choosing it as my major? It is a good question, thus I am still trying to answer it with my consistent exploration. It is not because I do not want to try other things as my dream major, it is about how will I be assessed and to which extend of possibility I can pass. I have to use what I have to earn ticket to higher platform. There is weak light for me just exchange my major to other field I do not know about.
In current short term position, I do learn a lot, from building up the basic professional habit to office common sense. These days, I have been reviewing the visa applications from PhD and MPhil candidates, for requirement of job, I need to look through their CV, and I found different style of life experience and possibility.
I keep asking myself that where I am going to? And which field I am going to? When I got a bunch of low grades, I comfort myself that I have done a lot, and GPA is not that important and all for me. Meanwhile, I still feel sad for the poor academic performance, even though I understand that I deserve it because I barely contribute my time and thoughts for it in the past year. Apart from study, I thought I had done a lot to know better about myself in the practice. In the past academic year in Hong Kong, I have been a research assistant in academic field, a marketing research project designer and acting leader. In order to get the first hand of information and resources, I make my effort in CSSA-HKU, for strong sense of belonging, I join GGG as student ambassador of HKU, and having a good time in DANSO Team.
This is not the first time but will not be the last time either to mention about the financial topic. It is the last month of the rental contract of my house. After continuing arguing with my current boyfriend, i feel very unsafe and lost for my future plan. It induces me to think about "staying or leaving Hong Kong" for the first time. In our previous conversation, I expressed my desire and explanation to stay in Hong Kong. Now, I ask myself again, my answer become vague. Of course, it is not only caused by the relationship, but also a self-identification about myself. I also calculate the cost and earning I am going to have after graduation. The answer turns out to be surprising, Shanghai looks like a better, safer and easier option.
After I make my decision to get my master in specialism of higher education, I modify my career target as a student advising officer or admission officer in higher education field. But now, What kind of person I want to be? In one year? Three years even ten years? Will it shift, and will I realize them on the earth of Hong Kong? Or I have to move in order to realize my career goal? The average of life span in Shanghai now is about 84, I am 23 yet to be 24. I have almost three fourths of life to do more exploration. But why I am so afraid of making any mistakes in my life? I guess one of the reasons is my growing family background, which makes me pretty sensitive and eager to be successful. In another words, I am tired of floating around like leaves.
I am less stronger than I am suppose to be, that's my recent emotional update. I hope my poor logic does not make you confused.
It is so nice to have your around as my friend as my godfather. As I am who you are knowing about that I will always overcome the obstacles to be stronger and better woman.
Best regards,
Jin
