Can I just say “WOW?” This video is what I have wrestled with since before I even applied to college. I knew I wanted to go, but of course there are also those doubts. The doubts I say, “Is where the weakness sets in.” I overcame those doubts by pushing forward, following my dreams, and knowing what is best for me and my future family.
I love that the description box, “About This Video,” says, “It’s something that’s been on my mind lately.” Hasn’t all those questions been in anyone’s mind, not only those whom go or went to college, but those that contemplated going, or even questioned about their own personal lives?
It’s powerful to me, due to the fact that I had all those unanswered questions. I wish I stumbled upon this video the day before college. Maybe it could have helped me. Or it could have even possibly let the weakness set back in. But as I look at it now, now that I have completed half of my first semester, I feel as though those questions have left my train of thought. They almost, in a way, were answered subconsciously in my mind throughout the past three months. I don’t know how or why, but I am glad that they were answered, leaving me more time to focus instead of contemplating.
A reaction to this video is easy, yet strangely and unexpectedly hard. I find it hard to explain how I feel about this short video, yet I feel relieved and at ease discussing it. I really found the music to contradict, in a way, what was being written on the papers. The music is so easy, relaxing, and fine with how things are, yet the questions are serious, well-thought out, and the writer seems to feel uneasy about them.
I wonder what her answers would be to all those questions or if she would even ever come up with the answers? I guess for her time will only tell, but luckily for me I have extraordinarily and unknowingly found the answers.
