I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
At 26, I am still looking for myself. I’ve crossed the bridge from the arts to the sciences by taking a Masters in Mathematics. Of course, Digital Illustration and Animation is already an attractive blend of left brain and right brain thinking. However, I want to know what it is like to explore in detail one of my other interests. As if to vindicate my choice, I took an online ability test and scored highest in numerical ability. I have lived my life with the knowledge that I have a higher verbal ability. I always strive to write and express myself. I know how to read French and Spanish; I also speak a little of both. I am probably criticized by some for apparently leaving my blue-blooded Atenean brothers and sisters by enrolling into De La Salle University for my Masters. I do not see anything wrong with it. It is primarily because I live in the City of Manila, not in Quezon City.
I will always owe my animation and leadership skills to Ateneo, along with the best years of my life. I also met my husband in Ateneo where we both represented Ateneo de Naga in the Ayala Young Leaders Congress (we both made it nationally) and the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines (he made it to the national top 30, I made it to Regional finals). If I get a career in banking or the academe and it is related to Math, I will owe LaSalle. I also appreciate the experience of going to classes with undergraduates who are eight years younger, and with graduate student/teachers who are years older.
I hope that this is it. At the moment, I am concentrating in my studies but once I get used to it, I will most likely look for a full time job.(hoping to graduate next year)
