GORDON Really needs your help =X OK PEOPLE I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP NOW. IF U CAN BE SO KIND, PLEASE SPARE SOME TIME TO READ WHAT I'VE TO SAY BELOW AND LEAVE A MSG ON MY TAGBOARD. I’D REALLY APPRIECIATE IT EVERYONE'S FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT TO ME!! THANKS!! Ok, so here's the thing. In a few months time, I might be eligible to go to Beijing on a school trip for 6 weeks. Unfortunately, it's not for a holiday, neither is it to built homes for the poor. If I do manage to make it there, it will be a kind of school exchange program. Now, that doesn't sound all that bad until the school I’ll be at is the Beijing Information Technology College. And for a solid 6 weeks, I’ll be doing nothing but programming and coding. Now, programming isn't exactly my gift. In fact I resent it as much as I avoid it. That’s the truth. And I admit it. But because of the perks that comes with it, including the such of heavily subsidised flight packages, good accommodation and weekends that are dedicated to touring all of Beijing, I am extremely hesitant. Not forgetting that going to Beijing in itself is an opportunity, it will shine in my resume. If I’m correct, only 20 people will be chosen to go. Of course I might be thinking too much as I might not be the one to go. But that doesn't matter. What does is my ultimate decision, when I’m given a chance, to take it or leave it. So, this is where your advice becomes a part of my final decision: Should I follow what my heart and instinct tells me, and skip this opportunity entirely; knowing it's not what I’ll enjoy doing and very likely be spending 6 weeks of hell in a foreign land or, Should I just go with all of my guts and teeth clinched? I actually asked one of my uncle regarding this matter months ago(yes. it’s been months :/ ) despite my half heartedness, he did make a good point as an older man. He said, ‘look, nothing in life is easy and you don't always have a choice. When you get out there(to work) if the company chooses to throw you in China, sometimes you don't even have a choice. Not forgetting that you might not enjoy what you're doing there as well. To add to that we're often talking about months maybe years. 6 weeks is nothing. And for the experience, connections you'll make and how it'll be reflected on your CV, you should definately go without thinking too much.’ :O :X  |
