You end what you start
My father’s thinking and whole life is defined by the title. Since I was a kid, my mom made sure I took every possible class you could imagine after school. Like English classes which I evidently ended and greatly appreciate; French classes which I never ended because I never really liked them; piano classes that never got as far as the basics; ballet classes that I never continued and I miss terribly; and so on. Of all of those if you noticed, the only ones that I finished were my English classes.
I really don’t know if it was that string of incomplete things in my life that left me with this habit of not ending the projects that I start. In a job resume you definitely don’t want to put that to your qualities. And if you are as hard on yourself as I am, you don’t want to notice that either.
Now, that I’m a 24 year old young adult, I came to realize that. Because when things are not working as you expected in your life, that’s what you should do. Evaluate yourself and look in the past, because there lies all the possible causes to your actual behavior, that eventually generated the reality you live in the present. My situation is this: I am still an architecture student, and I say still because I should have graduated in 2005. Now this is the part where I tell you why. But I won’t, because that’s personal and I really don’t know you. (Ha ha!)
At first I couldn’t see the value of it, because I really don’t see myself as an architect. But then I started thinking about how much time and energy I’ve put into it. How much tears and pain (to add some needed dramatism and keep things interesting). And I remembered about my English classes, that even though as a young teen I couldn’t see their value, it was the only thing I ended and how useful they have been for me in all these years.
Though right now I don’t see the use of me getting my title, I know that eventually I’ll be thankful I did get it. That’s why you need to end what you start.
