With a sigh, she
finally broke the unbearable silence with the question, "What do you
expect to do with your life?" After scrutinizing yet another of my near-failing
progress reports and finding her apathetic brother playing video games, my
sister reiterated this same question I was asked for the umpteenth time.
Previously, I would let such "advice" from my peers slip in through
one ear and out the other. But this time, the tone of her voice was different:
concerned, genuine, firm. For the first time, I let the question truly sink in
and struggled to find its long-sought answer. After considering this question,
I realized something that truly frightened me to the core: I had no answer. If
I were to continue my life of indifference and indolence, I doubtlessly had no
future to look forward to. The possibility of leading an inefficient and
apathetic life with no passions and long-term goals terrified me, and only then
did I truly comprehend that I urgently needed to take control of my own life.
