Today was the day that I have finally decided to stay- stay for good.
I was supposed to be assigned in NXP (Cabuyao, Laguna) for our summer internship program. I don't like it there. I just don't feel comfortable. I really cannot explain the feeling but bottom line is - I do not want to have my internship there in Laguna. Actually, I do not want to work in the industry sector. Yes, they have great pay but I do not find it even remotely appealing. The path I want to take is a path where I could learn more, grow more and touch more lives. Cheesy?
But in this life that we are only bound to live once, discovery and learning are things I cannot take for granted. Those two months that I will be spending in the semiconductor industry doing routine analysis can be exchanged for two months of immersed research in our department's laboratory. Yes, there will be no pay. They say I have no growth. But who cares anyways? This is the life I want to pursue, the life I want to live. I may not have the highest grades in class but I dream to be a researcher. All I need is the guts and the courage to fail a million times before achieving my dream.
I may not be going to a fancy industry with pay and meal allowance but I know I will be studying something good. Something that others would not dare since I will still be staying in UP. But I love it here in UP, UP education is something I will not trade for anything here in the world.
