My Moment of Madness

In BS years, I had the opportunity of taking several Psychology classes along with my engineering classes. In one of those classes, a professor explained to us that every human being have the right of a "Crazy moment", a moment of total madness. I think I've never been able to use it before. Maybe not with the same intensity that the one that is coming. So, here is my chance, My moment of madness...I've decided to pursue a dream.

I'm a Computer Engineer for 3 years now, but there have been some changes at my work that made me think about what I want, what I'm going to do now. A little passion of mine came up...photography. I've decided to do my masters in Photography. I'll be a MFA with an BS. But that is not all, to do it, where I want to, I have to move to Atlanta...There is where the madness begin. I have to leave a lot behind just to purse a dream.

"Photography? Why Photography? Why not choose something more engineer like? More close or related to engineering?" That's what I heard at first..."photography is not a "stable" job. But what is a stable job? I have a "stable" job, and see what happened. There is nothing certain in life but death itself. So, after a lot of thinking...I closed my eyes and searched why do I really wanted to do...Puff, Photography pop out. "Photography, it is, then." I said to myself.

As soon as I took the decision, my heart felt relieve and a so long lost happiness took over. That make me think...this is really what I want to do now. I don't know if everything will be ok, I don't know if I'll have a job after I graduate, but how will I know if I don't try it? One thing I'm certain that I'm taking the risk of follow a dream, and at the end, there is no greater satisfaction...
