For years, I've been living for someone else. I ended up not knowing what I really want.

I got a lot of concern about my choice in life, and got called an idiot by a friend of mine on what he thought of me taking a gap year after high school, so I thought... Maybe going with the flow is better. My parents told me I'll have more time to travel after I finish my studies, but I was really concern... I mean, what if I don't like my future job? I don't even know what I want to do. What if I don't have time to travel? My only love is to travel, to learn something from the outside and open up a brand new perceptive about life. I don't want to end up like my parents that work and travel to places that they only know. They are immigrant from Vietnam and China, money and good job equal happiness to them, not mine. I want to see something new and travel at a young age, so I thought to myself, not next year, it'll be in three years, after I graduate, I'll get to take a year or two off to do what I have always want to do since I was little kid. At the same time, I was afraid of returning to school and be one of the oldest student in University. I was afraid of people thinking that I was crazy to be taking time off from my study. I turned to you guys for advice and most of you encouraged me to travel, I went to another forum and they encouraged me to travel too, another forum suggested me to study abroad... That I don't feel like doing it.

I have made my final choice for now... I'm going to travel after I finish college and there's no stopping me. Maybe college will change my perception, but for now, I'd decided that it'll be in three years.

Time to save up!!
