Choosing a professional career when leaving school is not usually a difficult task, the complicated thing is usually choosing the right one, one that drives you, that moves your fibers and in which you see yourself realizing dreams. In my case I should not only choose a career with these characteristics, I should take into account other factors that in another scenario would not be so relevant.
When I left school I was going through one of the rawest moments of the diagnosis. I was going through therapies, a medicine that made me feel so many chills at night that it was like I was sleeping with an ice blanket on me, I faced not being able to walk for more than 20 meters without tripping, and therefore, the need to always seek support to be able to do it. When I was going through this moment I had to choose my professional future, and I had to take into consideration in my decision not only that I loved the career and I was passionate, I had to consider how I was going to move from my home to the University and even within it.
Although the limitations at this time were not so tangible, they began to be thanks to medical knowledge, to what they consider reality for my diagnosis: a life of limitations. As you know if you have read this blog, I am a person who firmly believes that limitations are mental and they are only as real as one perceives them. That's why the first thing I decided was not to believe the doctors who wanted me to believe that there are impossible.
I couldn't think of a demanding or demanding career - stress makes symptoms worse-yet which career isn't demanding? After this very small detail would come the following: to choose a university that did not represent a greater physical requirement, that is, a university in which I had classes in one room, that had no stairs, that I did not have to move. To the above then had to be added the same weight of the important election.
I chose social communication as my professional career, a career that includes moving a lot, facing difficult scenarios and facing complicated situations. Here I crossed out the first of the limiters. The second would be the issue of mobilization, I chose one of the best universities in Colombia, I chose a university that looks like Olympus, in which to go from one building to the other you had to go up and down many steps... Many.
Facing these limitations led me to graduate as a social communicator, led me to develop a better physical condition, led me to grow as a person and as a professional. Having faced limitations, and doing it consistently and still doing it is what has allowed me to see the growth of a person who knows how important it is to give an unimportant place to limitations and understand them not as such, but as a great possibility of growth.
