Because I Have A Dream

I shot for the sky and I'm going to continue until I reach it.

Each and everyone of us have faced ups and downs. Some of us are in the limelight while others remain in the shadows of the crowd. I've been that all along. I've been hiding in between the sheets of my comfort zone. I've been stopped and affected by people's comments. I've been lying on the ground trying so badly to reach for the sky...but every time I try, I remain there on the on the ground. Like everyone else, I have dreams. I have goals that I want so much to achieve but just because there are some obstacles blocking, I can't seem to run after it.

Today, I finally printed out the Intercampus Transfer Application. For a very long time, I have been dreaming of studying abroad. It's not a big deal for some people but it is for me...a very big one indeed. It's like actors wanting to win the Oscars Award. From the moment I stepped into Monash, I've already wanted to go to Australia but as I have said, words from others affected me...including my own fears of not being able to adapt. You see, I'm like a bird who have been well fed in it's cage...taken care of and I have never flown into the real world. I was always protected and I never complaint. I mean what's there to complaint right? I'm living a good life and technically, I shouldn't even think of leaving home. But that's just not the case for me. I, for some reason prefer the opposite. I want to learn the hard way...to step into the scary world which I've always seen as beautiful. I want to fall and get up on my own. I want to find me.

So anyways, I was filling up the form and there's this one section where they asked, 'Reason for applying for transfer'. I skipped that part and answered the others. And when I went back to that section, I stared at it for at least an hour. I began writing a whole lot of crap like getting to know other cultures, making friends and those common stuff but then I paused and thought to myself, 'What's my real reason for leaving my homeland?'. And then I just wrote what my heart really wanted to write all this while....'because I have a dream and I want to chase it'.
