I have received a lot of advice in life. Some that was useless but other advice really stayed with me. I would like to share with you an advice that I received almost 2 years ago in 2019.
At first I did not know what I wanted to do after my MBO education. I did know that I was far from finished developing myself and learning. For a long time I wanted to do the PABO to become a teacher, but at the moment that my last MBO year started, that still felt too ambitious for me, I was not ready. That year I was thinking. while doing research, I ended up with a study choice test and it ended as a advice to study journalism. This study has come up more often in past conversations due to my passion for writing, film and photography.
I eventually got into a conversation with a half-sister about my idea to follow the journalism study. I didn't know where yet, because I had only encountered university studies for journalism while doing my research. What I found out was that she was also interested in writing and she had already been looking at HBO studies in journalism. She had been to an open day at the university of journalism in Utrecht. She talked about it and I started to read about it. I watched videos of the school, I attended the Student for a Day program and the open day. All of this before corona. Unfortunately I have not had contact with my half sister for a long time due to circumstances. So I was never able to tell her that I was accepted for the study program. That things are going well, even when it is a lot of work at the moment. Especially because I have never taken courses such as economics, politics and housing before. And my learning difficulties don't help either. But it will be fine (I hope). I have never been able to thank my half-sister for the advice and the conversation that led to me now doing my study. If she ever sees this, thank you for your advice. I hope you're well. I understand where you were in life when you cut off contact. I wish you the best in life. And if you want to start a conversation again, you have my number.
