Chapter 1: Dilemma
It's weird that every morning I get up and see the technology around me. I can't seem to fathom the idea why I find it weird as well. I know a lot of things, but not much about the world around me. Before I go rambling of about my endless thoughts and of that I do not know, why or what I'm supposed to do in this boring world, let me introduce myself. I'm Xavier Evens, just turned 16 this year on the 25th of March. I know, I know, I have heard everyone from my parents, teachers and even myself telling me that I shouldn't be sceptical about life.
Let me clear the background a little before you all start to question, "Who is this spoiled and screwed up kid?".
My parents moved to this city, which I will not say as to not involve them in my dilemma, to start a new life. Everything went along fine, of course we had money problem, which family didn't, but we lived through it to see another day. I am soon to start my college in a couple of months, but why should I?
I had a lot of options, I could take any course I did like, Medical, Engineering and business or other which I haven't any idea about.
Medical - I am interested to learn about medicine and how the human body works, but I am 16 now, I will have to work myself to the bone for over 10 years to be a fully fledged doctor, or so, my father says that I can enjoy my life after the age of 26 years. Yea rite...
Engineering - I have a few older friends who did Engineering. If any Engineer is reading this now. I sympathise, I really do. You guys have it hard.
Business - I don't know. Learning business from books, I can read all those finance books within days, but I believe it should take more practise than reading to get business right, but I might go with business or just join my dad and start a business and learn on the job, I think.
But, Engineering looks more promising at the moment, why you ask? - Well let me see, It's more challenging, but not time taking, if my interest change, I can move to another stream before I waste my time with something I don't like. I would love to do Medical, maybe when I really get bored and have a lot of money, so that I can waste 10 years of my life learning and later enough to keep be afloat a few more decades after as well.
Who am I kidding rite? You guessed it by now. I'm a bit.. no a lot of lazy. NO! I'm not fat, I like being healthy, I have a good physique. Wait... did I just get physically conscious with you just thinking about this...
Ok, let's start again. Why am I rambling in my mind...
Well the questions before me, makes me want to think of the life I had, because this might lead to a better or more interesting life.
Really!! Literally there are questions before me in white boxes and grey text asking me 10 questions.
You see my dilemma? What's a soothsayer?
