15. Pursue your passion

This is hard for many as they cannot recognize and clearly label what their passion is. It was hard for me because there was not a single phenomenon I was passionate about, but mediocrely passionate about many things. But going back to school and seeing things unfold, I found that I had a passion for the work that non-profit organizations were doing- work to provide emergency aid, healthcare services, educational needs, and long-term mental needs of developing countries. I have yet to actually immerse myself in practice, but for me, concretely forming a passion in itself is a big accomplishment for me. I hope to use what I learned in grad school to carry out in practice in the next job I am offered. So! Let’s hope I land the job of my passion in my 30s! I cannot wait!
