You can create your future
THE EDITOR: An open letter to all young adults.
Any graduation is accompanied by a sense of relief, freedom, optimism and putting dreams and plans into action. However, reality finds you in the throes of a pandemic, with behaviours regulated, and society unable to assure you about the future.
Recall the announcement that the “scholarship pool” is drying up and only one quarter of the usual offering will be available from now on. As millennials, you are achievement-oriented, confident, ambitious, have high expectations, and not afraid to challenge authority.
Keep the first three personality characteristics but (1) temper your high expectations. Young people walk off jobs complaining that their bosses “exploiting dem” and are not paying for extra work/time. “Half a loaf is better than none,” meaning that something is better than nothing, even if it is less than you expected. You are young. Time is on your side. Experience is priceless.
