At the crossroads: Teenage is an important phase of life.
St. Mary’s College of Engineering & Technology: One thing that separates a child from a grown up is innocence. When we were children people loved us unconditionally, then as we grew up, we went ahead in our lives, made friends and lost few childhood buddies.
We lost our childhood becoming an independent individual who could think, understand and sometimes manipulate.
As a teenager when I entered my Engineering I was still a child who was walking the thin line between good and bad. In the beginning everything seemed so beautiful, friends, surrounding and my life literally rocking.
Slowly the things seemed to unravel as I had change of tastes and opinions with friends, surroundings no more interesting and life was just dragging making fun at me for being so childish. I just couldn’t understand how people whom I knew very well yesterday (at least that’s what I thought) were beyond my thoughts today.
The company of people I used to love seemed more dreadful than beautiful.
When I was still trying to understand all this, my friends who too were feeling the same (which I didn’t know before) let the misunderstandings pop in and manipulate the mind leading to fights and much more. Still I didn’t understand why we turned sour towards our own friends? Why?
But then before I knew, the final few months of my college life were left and though I knew what I want to become, I still didn’t know what kind of a person I’m inside.
This one thought scared me more than anything else. I was good and very good at times but I was bad and really bad too. I was still walking that thin line but now I know which way to be inclined. I’m still not the kind of person I wanted to be but I have a big life ahead which is surely going to test me in the most weird, scary and tougher times ahead. Today in the last phase of my Engineering life I know what I want be in my Life and as a person.
