Boundaries

           “Nothing's ever built to last but that doesn't mean it's not worth building.”

            Fast forward upon graduation and into the field of work, what would be the things I would like to achieve? For others, towering skyscrapers and humungous buildings might be the fulfillment of their dreams. Nevertheless, change is but the ultimate enemy of everything. As a Civil Engineer in the years to come, my ultimate goal is to be inscribed in the pages of history neither because of fame or fortune nor with the Guiness Book of World Records Holder, but to be someone who could undeniably change the surface of the world.

            As technology allows the rise of gadgets and devices which lessen the human effort, the human race is now clearly forgetting what it really means to be a human. Syria reinforced, Iran at State of Emergency, China naval troops surrounding the unclaimed territory- these are some of the headlines nowadays, isn’t it? The cyber world is not also exempted from these monstrosities of the mass population. Cyber Wars, Flamings, scams, block mails and others filled the Internet during these times. The Earthlings are now forgetting the essence of humanity

            With these scenarios laid, I remember a line from John Lennon’s Imagine. “Imagine there's no countries. It isn't hard to do, nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too. Imagine all the people living life in peace” These verses struck me and molded my personality and goals. Years from now, I would build bridges connecting nation from nation - abolishing racism among people to unite us as one. I would destroy walls that separate the communities from another. Building structures for the betterment of all - defying the laws of boundaries to create union among ourselves.

            I want to reshape humanity. Most of our civil engineers nowadays work for the sake of fame and wealth - but my perception is different. I will build structures thinking that someday, my kin would make use of it. I will build bridges putting into mind that it will be the bridge that will strengthen the loose rope of nation-building.

            My ideas and to-do list seems to be like a dream of a kindergarten pupil isn’t it? But these dreams shall be the foundation of my personality, the bases of my education, and will be the tower of my career.
