Just realized that Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of college in his sophomore year, at the age of 19, to build a million-dollar business. I turned 20 this year, and I'm in my pre-final year. Have I missed the train to greatness because I haven't achieved as much as I thought I would by this age?
Sometimes I know what I want, but right now, my mind keeps drifting toward all the possible futures I could have. I know you might be laughing at me — I just escaped my teenage years, after all, and I'm still very young. But yeah, reading about Mark leaving in his sophomore year because he felt that inner calling so early in his career makes me wonder: when will I get mine? Or maybe I’m just not receiving the signal. But how’s that possible? I’m studying communication engineering — I know how to process, encode, and decode signals, whether analog or digital! I just don’t know which form of signal God is trying to send, but I’m pretty sure they don’t teach how to process that kind in college.
But hey, wait! I did get an internship at Adobe this year. So yeah, actually, I have achieved something — one of my goals for this semester! It’s so easy for our brains to forget the things we have now that we once prayed for and start praying for the next bigger and broader goal. So, you and I should be grateful for our past dreams, which have been fulfilled by God. Amen.

(Note: Only 14 days left for my 5th semester to end, and instead of preparing for my exams, I’m writing this. Lord, save me!)
