Who am I....

That’s a good question because I am in the stage of transitioning from being a student of almost 18 years (yes.. i started preschool when i was 3 or 4 years old) to becoming a young adult who will have to find a job to support her family and herself. I cannot speak for my other peers but I can honestly say that most of us are feeling the need to figure out who we are and where we will be heading in life. This is the first time where I no longer have the luxury of knowing what my plans for next year are. For the past few days, I have been thinking about whether or not I should continue going to school or start looking for a job.

I know this site is for blogging about youth issues and things like that… and probably what i just wrote don’t relate to those topics at all.. but I feel that although I am “considered” by many to be ready for the working world, I do not believe I am just yet. Therefore, for adults who are maybe 10, 20, 30 years older than me (us), I hope they realize I (we) still need encouragement, just like those in college and high school. But do treat me (us) as young adult(s) who are ready and prepare for the challenges life gives me (us). I am lost but it does not mean I am irresponsible or immature. =D

Haha.

Anyways, my blogs will probably be boring compare to the others….... But here goes nothing…....

My name is Rosa Wong-Chie. I was born in Colombia (South America). Went to Galileo for high school and graduated in 2001. Blogging for Jane because she thinks I’m interesting.. (I think _) That’s it for now.

    Rosa,

    I think many of us don’t stop having this dilemma. In fact, I had a similar conversation with my buddy in NY last night. He is definitely more in line w/ the “accepted” career/life trajectory, but he has lots of friends like me who have questioned that track. Creatives and activists in particular require a certain amount of lack of commitments to certain things (mortgage/car/company-ties) so that they can afford shifts in direction that they’re artwork and political work might require. It’s not a sign that you haven’t grown up, it’s a sign that you refuse to give up on this democratic experiment we have here.

    Keep on Keeping on,
    Adam

    I had a wonderful time reading your entry. The simple questions are the ones hard to answer. I think that it is in our learning years that we become more concerned of our identity. Before facing the real world, it is important to establish our roles in the society. Life will never be fair and circumstances are really pushing us to the limit. In this sense, a simple reflection will help.
