Session 2

I decided to go with what I love, and now I’m taking a marketing degree at UofT.  It is nothing like I thought it would be!  I pictured public speaking and designing product displays.  I didn’t foresee designing posters and writing essays!  I’m not happy at all in my program, and I really don’t want to do an academic program.  The reason I wanted to be an engineer was because I liked designing things.  I was always good at drawing my designs.  I even took a few art courses in high school.  I took them to boost my average, but I found my passion in sculpting.

The best thing is that most of the courses I’m currently enrolled in can be used towards a degree in sculpting, so I wouldn’t loose an entire year in tuition.  My parents never really approved of marketing, so they were delighted when I told them I was considering changing. 

My friends old friends are scattered all over the country, living their own lives, so I’ve lost touch with them.  My new friends in University are too consumed in their own schooling to think about me.  After great thought and deliberation, I will be going into sculpting.  Due to my lack of advice from loved ones, this may be an irrational and premature decision.
