This is what my bosses (orientation leaders) told us during frosh week. It holds so much truth in the business world and even in everyday situation. Those people that you look up to on stage, those people that seem to have everything just flow to them, those individuals seem to be naturally gifted at everything they lay their fingers on...well 99% of the time it's all a show. I remember teachers and successful individuals that would certainly agree. I actually do believe that under everyone's skin are their own set of insecurities that they may choose to not display at all, display under special circumstances or only to selective individuals. So as I am here, allegedly in one of the best commerce programs in Canada, one of the hardest programs to get into, around THE leaders of tomorrow I feel intimidated. Sometimes I feel out of place. Sometimes, no often, I ask myself if it was by mistake that I made it here. What if I was that last person that they offered the spot to? Inferior, that's it... I feel inferior. Especially when it comes to making new friends...darn those people that become bff's upon their first glance on each other. But then, I sometimes remember that maybe that isn't the case. That maybe, well hopefully, it's all just a show and when it comes down to it we are all on the same boat more or less, worried about the same things.
This post is dedicated to my Harbord class of 2010. Believe me, if at any moment you've had any doubt or worries know that it's normal, you're not alone. Give it some time and it will all work out. There will always be something better down the road.
Day 12: A Song I want to play at my wedding.
The song I want to play at my wedding is not really a song, but a musical piece called The Princess Waltz by John Debney. I'm pretty sure it's an orchestral piece. It's an original piece from the movie The Princess Diaries. Years ago, we had a time where we had a free preview of the movie channels. At the time, the Princess Diaries and Rush Hour 2 were the features. Now, these were the days where my brother and I would be at home all day long in the summer. Thus, we have watched these two movies sooo many times. I loved the Princess Diaries and to this day I think it's probably my second favourite movie? This song comes in near the end after Mia accepts the crown and is making her way into the ball room with her royal grandmother. At the end of this piece, Mia walks out into the balcony with that main protagonist where they kiss and her feet "pop." I loved the piece of music, but in the credits it didn't list the song title. I assumed that it was just another piece of background music that I will never encounter again unless I replay that part of the movie. I even found the movie's soundtrack and had no luck. But then one day, thanks to the help of youtube, I discovered the song's origins. I've managed to download it and play it often, usually when I want to hear something peaceful. I think I would love to have this song play at one point of my wedding. It is so elegant, peaceful like I've already said and it'll be like my own fairy tale, princess ending.
