A Dream is A Wish Your Heart Makes

Maybe travelling around the world was not my wish when I was little. At the old times, my wishes changes from one to another; From pilot, to engineer, to scientists, but never to travel around the world. Even when one of my relative's ex-boyfriend came to my house and told me that he wanted to go around the world, I just laugh because I thought it was just a joke.
Years later, I heard that he went around South Asia to help his friend published his book, and then he went to another places on earth.
That was my turning point. It was said that your words are prayers for yourself. So, that time I decided to take a wish seriously. Well, I wished to be a Computer Scientist. But I know I was not good enough to be in that field. I was so lazy and always take the easy way out from every problems I faced. Knowing my weakness, I took a Computer Science major at a 'local-branded' University instead of taking another major which is more promising like accounting, industrial engineering, and else.
At the university I met some lecturers who had traveled around the world to pursue their degrees, even there is one who got a post-doc degree before 30 (I have no idea how genius is she). The thing here is that I realized that I have put an interest in AI field which is still quite a few are interested in.
Imagine this, if a class could hold up to 60 students, and there are 30 classes, there will be 1800 students in this Computer Science major. but only 30 in total are taking AI as their interest. While from those 30 only some are pretty serious about their interest.
But here I am, now longing for scholarships to take me around the world while collecting degrees.

Adieu.
