"what Are You Passionate About?" Asked One Of The Classmates.



This morning at the end of CE session, the lecturer decided to play the 'Inside-out game' like what we used to play last term to practice our presentation speech. However, today we were asked to circle around the room asking a typical yet terrifying question which we has just learned from the people's passions in the book. Let me explain you how it works. First, every has to line up in front of each other like a pair in circle. Next, each pair had to ask each other the question. Then the lecturer called out to the inside line to move to the left 5 steps which means moving across 5 people.

I was the outside line so I just have to stand there waiting for the inside line to come. I was standing without preparing the answer or thinking of anything when Molika moved aside her line and stood in front of me. We gave each other a big smile then she started the question. "what are you passionate about, Ing?" Not a minute passed, I stood there with my mouth a little bit open and showing some gestures so as not to make her think I had no idea. I was thinking very hard and forcing myself to come up with an answer. All I heard is the talking and laughing of the 35 students around me and I felt like I could not hear my own voice. Minutes passed, yet I am still standing there open-mouth with the unmoving hand gesture. I was stuck with the world no brain-er question that almost anybody could answer. Not wanting her to wait, I told her, "I'm passionate about dancing, money, and travelling."

After the game, everyone went home. I was walking down the stairs to the parking lot. I walked and I thought. I walked and I thought, again and again. I was stuck. How could it be possible for a person to not know what she loves to do. How could I? I have never thought about this before, well, actually I did but I wasn't serious for the answer. Until this late at night, I still haven't known the answer. From now on, I will set out a journey to find my passion. I am not just looking for an answer to life something I am hesitate say it out, but I am finding the exact things I love in life. "What am I passionate about?"
