Good Morning brehs! Take 4 minutes of your busy day to take a look at this video...
I´ll start with one of mine... I am 22 and studying to become an Air Traffic Controller
I´m missing 2 years to graduate and at the beginning of this year I took the stupid decision to pause school this semester.
One week after it started...Guess what?... I wanted to go back!!!
After watching this video I decided to ask for a meeting with the director of the academy to try and see if I can go back this semester even though I might have to kill myself dealing with the backlog.
Anyways... I´ll keep you guys posted with any answer that I get from them...
Now brehs and brehettes share yours and what u gonna do to take action??
Oh and be nice... This is my first thread...
Damn I was already depressed now I see this shyt
Anyway good that you're acting on it to get back to the academy
Sorry to read about all that, but yeah you're 21, you have A LOT of time ahead of you
As for me, shyt there are a lot.
- Just "going with the flow" as in since I was good at school, I never really thought about what I wanted to do. Just went to school, got good grades, went home, repeat. This until I got my degree, and had no idea whatsoever what to do with it.
- Believing the bs that says "School is the most important" and sacrificing everything else for it. It wasn't even conscious, being shy and kind of socially awkward I found a refuge in class, but I never pursued any of my passions (mainly basketball and music) outside. I know my "passion" now (writing) is really a substitution passion.
- Somewhat getting away from my Central African roots. For personnal reasons I strayed away (mostly not speaking the language and being mixed, thus sometimes being made fun of on some "You're not a true Central African") and it's now been more than 10 years I haven't been there. Not speaking the language is not something that I decided (I was put in a french school, and everyone spoke french to me) but it will forever irk me.
- Never trying to go back to NY to live (I lived in New Rochelle as a kid).
- I had the opportunity to go live for a couple of months in Lisbon a couple years back, and got cold feet like a month before leaving for some really bs reasons. I think it would've had a big impact on my life.
Listen to my family members who told me I was startin to associate myself with the wrong people/crowd when I was younger , they were right but I was blinded by the instant gratification of shyt and didn't foreshadow the long term consequences ..
Not take that North Carolina scholarship offer, but now I'm glad I didn't do it. However, I'm working on trying to go back to school.

That may be too personal for most to share.
Not getting my Masters right after my undergrad. In two years I've spent over a third of that time looking for jobs, when I would have been just about done with my Masters by now . Would be 24 making a lot more money too
It's alright though, I think I'm getting a GREAT job here soon and on pace to start my Masters Fall 2017 hopefully paid for

Yeah I know... Being honest I didn´t write my Biggest regret... I wrote the second or third..
But I think that even though you don´t share it with us if I was able to at least make you think about it and maybe help you start taking action on it or if it´s something that you can´t fix maybe learn from it and use that learning now.

I like the idea! It's humbling and good to look at your faults not always looking at the good things you did and feeling like you're Superman out here, Mr. better than everyone.
