A second chance / Una segunda oportunidad (eng-esp)

in Ladies of Hive12 days ago

Hi friends!

Our friend @saffisara has presented us with a very difficult question for me in this week's community contest: If you had a second chance to do something again, what would you do? It's painful for me to admit this publicly because it represents a stage of immaturity (youthful foolishness): graduate from university

When I was 23, I was in my fourth year of Accounting and Finance. However, I had a new girlfriend to whom I was engaged.
I was doing well in every way, and to be with her for everything, I skipped classes. So, between one thing and another, I lost my right to take the exams that year and made the same mistakes again the following year.

Of course, I blamed the system, the university, the dean, everyone but myself: the real culprit.

Years later, when I truly learned that passion for knowledge and responsibility, I realized everything I had lost. In fact, I wasn't even seeing that girl anymore, but it was too late.

I took language courses (I already speak three), learned SEO, digital marketing, and social media, enrolled in another degree program (tourism), and then the pandemic hit. After that, I enrolled in Spanish Literature and moved to a different province. In short, even though I know a lot now, I don't have a university degree in any field.

Unfortunately, I can't turn back time. I can only keep moving forward. But if I could go back and do something new, correct a mistake, without it changing my present (a difficult thing to do), that would be to finish university.

However, if this wish would change everything I know and am now, I prefer not to. I prefer to stay as I am. After all, I'm living with the consequences of my actions, both good and bad.

But the shame of everything I've told you is something I will always live with.

Hola, amigas

Nuestra amiga @saffisara nos presenta una pregunta muy difícil para mí, en este concurso de la comunidad de esta semana: Si tuviera una segunda oportunidad de hacer algo de nuevo, ¿qué haría?
Me resulta doloroso reconocer esto en público porque representa una etapa de inmadurez (estupidez de la juventud): graduarme de la universidad

Cuando tenía 23 años, cursaba el cuarto año de mi carrera de Contabilidad y Finanzas. Sin embargo, tenía una novia nueva con la que estaba comprometido.
Me iba bien en todos los sentidos y, por tal de estar junto a ella en todo, faltaba a clases. Por tanto, entre una cosa y otra, perdí derecho a realizar los exámenes ese año y volví a cometer los mismos errores, el siguiente.

Por supuesto, le eché la culpa al sistema, a la universidad, al decano, a todo el mundo, menos a mí: el verdadero culpable.
Años después, cuando aprendí de veras esa pasión por el conocimiento y la responsabilidad, me di cuenta de todo lo que había perdido. De hecho, ya ni siquiera seguía con esa muchacha, pero ya era muy tarde.


fuente

Pasé cursos de idiomas (ya tengo tres), aprendí SEO, marketing digital, comunicación social, matriculé en otra carrera (turismo) y vino la pandemia, luego matriculé en Español Literatura, y me mudé de provincia. En fin, que aunque ahora sepa muchas cosas, no tengo un título universitario de ninguna.
Lamentablemente, el tiempo no lo puedo echar a andar para atrás. Solo me queda continuar el camino hacia adelante. Pero, si pudiera volver a atrás y hacer algo nuevo, rectificar un error, sin que eso cambie mi presente (cosa difícil) eso fuera terminar mi universidad.


fuente

Sin embargo, si este deseo cambiara todo lo que sé y soy ahora, prefiero no hacerlo. Prefiero quedarme así. Al fin y al cabo, estoy viviendo las consecuencias de mis acciones, de las buenas y las malas.
Pero la vergüenza de todo esto que les he contado, es algo con lo que siempre viviré.

Sort:  

Lástima no lograses tu objetivo, pero al menos me alegra saber que tienes conocimientos muy variados. Yo también escogí como segunda oportunidad este momento, sin duda alguna son pasos en la juventud que nadie debería saltarse.

Saludos y bendiciones, como te entiendo amigo, cometí también un error muy semejante al tuyo.

Creo que todos los hemos cometido en algún momento, en algún modo.
Gracias por leer.
Abrazos

Wow.... I admire your courage.
Speaking about such life experience is something alot of people cannot do.

Unfortunately, I can't turn back time. I can only keep moving forward.

This line really hit me, and that's the truth. You can only keep evolving and not live in regrets.

I guess we all wish we could turn back the hand of time, and correct our mistakes, but nah... That's never possible, because live has several pathetic stories, we only hope for the best.

Thank you for sharing this with us, so insightful.

Thanks to you for reading. Yes, that is my ugly truth, My life. But i only get stronger after recognize my mistake and accept my destiny.

You're brave indeed

Your decision to continue moving forward, especially with what we learn from the university of life, is important. I believe it's never too late to fulfill your dreams. Have a nice day.

I wonder how many brilliant young men and womwn become academically hamstrung by a sweet but fleeting romance? Love is such a dangerous hazard to be distracted by.

Such a beautiful journey you have made and look how far you come 🩷
That was a personal journey and I think many can relate to things they might have done in the past that wasn't the best but we learn from our mistakes and grow.
You sure have changed and come far, you can look back and see how Hard you worked sence then.

Good job and Thank you for sharing. Cheers 🌸

Thanks to you, dear.
Hugs!
