Back from the Dead
Dear TOTAs,
Many of you might not know me because I haven't been around in so long but for those who know me, I owe you an explanation. Even though I've kept in contact with the very few TAs i've came to meet three years ago, not everyone knows the true story behind my disappearance. As most of my friends on this forum knew, I was attending Ryerson for Mechanical engineering which truly was my dream come true cuz i've always wanted to be an engineer. Unfortunately due to the many bad decisions, I found my self failing my dreams and that was partially because I was too involved with my other superficial short term hobbies that I came to regret. It took allot of effort to rebuild what I've lost but the news of flunking out of engineering was very hard to bear.
I've totally cut myself from all forums, I stopped DJing, I took up a part time job and aimlessly looked up different future careers as i've never planned for my mishaps. After a bit of guidance from the few that I truly love, my family encouraged me to jump into college just so I can regain whatever sanity I had left. With the few people that love me all those fake friends that deserted me after i failed on dreams, I found myself struggling for my future. For the first time in my life I felt like it was truly in my own hands to shape who I will become. I gave up the things I love for a shot in getting back in my eng. program.
For the very few of you that knew I went to college, you never found out the outcome. 3.5GPA, honors with excellent standings and I've quickly became a leader in my program at George Brown. I had alotta people asking me for help. It was such an awesome and rewarding year. Definitely an experience that built my self confidence and showed me that hitting rock bottom, one can actually rise again and learn from their mistakes. Alot of people in my position quit and tried other careers.
Having said that, I was still going to continue my program in college but after a totally fluke contact, I found myself back at Ryerson. It was the Fall semester of 06 that I had to ace by 80% or better for me to get back into the program. I've never worked so hard in my life but I had everything to lose and i was very desperate. I've given up everything else that I haven't given up in the past. Including all my close friends and i found myself struggling to find time to spend with the ones I love the most. From there, I was back into the program, with a new part time job that paid the bills and a very good outlook on the future. Last semester I finally had a chance to finish my first year once and for all and I find myself in second year as of the upcoming fall semester. Which lead to this summer.
For all the people I've never met, welcome to the board, for all my old friends, you've been missed. For all the people I had a grudge against, well I forgot wtf happened between us so lets grow up. As for DJing, well I'm slowly getting my foot in the door. I've got a few surprises coming up that many will love.
Regards,
