Their expectations and my uncertainties

            It is exactly a week since graduation, day after day I sit in solemn reflection. My parents, my self, my friends and the general society, all have expectations of me and what I should be doing with my life. Expectations big or small, it does not matter, I need to be moving. Frankly, I am getting fed up with the question; What are you going to do now? My uncertainty of the future greatly influence my response, most times I tell them what I can be sure of, that is at least I have the next year figured out.
            I do have to confess I love this feeling of uncertainty, its like a high. That must be why I take a casual attitude to planning, I love to see events unfold without knowing exactly what will happen next. Uncertainty is not I bad thing. Yes, it can be scary and even tormenting, but it can also be very liberating. It opens a world of events and opportunities, anything, absolutely anything is possible. I am keeping my hopes up and my eyes to the sky. So next time someone asks me; What are you doing after graduation? I look them in the eyes, with a smile better yet a broad grin on my face and say, I do not know.  Because in that response lies my deepest confession and life open to all sorts of expectations.

Sur mon parcours, j'ai appris une leçon. En toutes choses, il faut la modération. Sur mon parcours, j'ai rencontré très tôt la religion. Elle m'a appris la moralité : La différence entre, Le bon et le mauvais. Elle m'a fait comprendre Que, à cause d'elle, l'homme s'est mis en guerre, Il y a quelques milliers d'années. Tous cela pour Montrer qui la connaît le mieux. La vérité est que, Elle n'a jamais voulu que cela soit le cas. Je lui ai Dit au revoir, mais on a toujours gardé le contact. Plus tard, sur mon parcours, j'ai rencontré la Politique. Elle m'a dit qu'elle aussi, subit la méprise De l'homme. Elle explique, "Les gens mes traitent Comme le sport du foot. Les partis politiques sont Les équipes et les gens ont choisi leurs équipes.
