Year 3. Gosh. Well actually year 4. After completing year zero at London met
university this year will see me clock up 4 years which is incredible. So much
has been learnt and I honestly feel the ride of rollercoaster emotions has been
definitely the biggest learning curve of all.
Yes I have a whole host more science knowledge than I started with and
that certainly has been massively interesting.
Yet more than anything I have experienced a very large learning curve
about myself, my heart led interests, my feelings and how I very much lack the
scientific, mathematical reasonance that goes hand in hand with this
combination of biology and chemistry. Initially, I was keen to help people with
their nutrition. Still I stand by this as I very much feel like a good listener
and motivator. Yet to do the entire
science bit isn’t necessarily where I come from in the grand scheme of things.
I am more a warm centered individual which has become more apparent since
completing an MBTI personality type questionnaire and essay.
Those around me have commented that these types of exercise are ‘a total
waste of time’ and when we have a dissertation to write why are we bothering to
waste our time. I disagree. I would rather my dissertation be totally on
what motivates people to be the people they are. Knowing about oneself definitely aids in
living a more on-purpose life.
Tuning in to what ‘makes you tick’ is something which very much needs
addressing and we have proven even in the science world that stress is a major
health risk. We know this. So living life in any way other than what you
enjoy is going to add to the stress that we all endure from time to time.
Having a renewed outlook on my career is potentially taking me to what
may seem a different path. Although using my knowledge of what I have learned
this far will definitely play a huge part.
Lessons learned about myself are truly golden. I have spent much of my time in university as
a single person and able to work more on my physical and mental mindset which
his fantastic. Much more confident at
who I am and where I am going with life and self is quite remarkable.
Last year saw a host of various quite challenging physical health conditions
which have vastly improved and I definitely feel ready for the next chapter of
my life.
While university has been one of the most difficult experiences of my
life, I do have thanks for the clarity I have within my life of not wanting to
be considered an employee but rather a self employed person in my onward
journey. As well as the clarity of who I
am.
