The most important thing we urge you to consider is that the university experience relies on your own passion for learning. | OPINION by Nira Rahman and Elizabeth Lakey vce
You might be anxiously waiting for your ATAR on December 16. There are numbers to agonise over, futures to plan, questions from parents and friends to field. You are thinking of career paths, discussing and justifying decisions, and perhaps you are uncertain about your choice.Eddie Jim
You might feel pressured by the hopes of teachers and family. Perhaps you’ll choose the degree that “matches” your ATAR or think about a career that sounds stable or lucrative. So, try to think beyond what degree to enrol in. Consider what aspects of learning motivate you the most. Ask yourself, “What are my goals in life?” while being mindful that these goals might change in the future, and that is completely fine!As we grow and change, our goals change too. So, rather than stressing over this looming choice, focus on becoming lifelong learners.
If we know ourselves deeply, we can understand how we want to approach our own individual futures. This self-reliance helps us grow as learners, in university and beyond.So, if you are anxiously awaiting your ATAR and are apprehensive about your future pathways, remember that learning is a continuum. It’s not all about an ATAR or a degree. It is a means towards profound self-development.
