Aptitude Of What

This is going to be one the few times I am going to post one of my best kept secrets. Back in my post-high school years I was asked to take an aptitude test. One of the few things I knew was the fact I could give 'fake' answers, proving that I belong in a certain field. Aptitude tests are for thing only, tell you where you belong in which career field.

Only known flaw it does not give you precise ideal career path, just the industry best suited for you. Lord knows I wanted to be part of the film industry/broadcasting, using my creativity to it's fullest potential. Good parents urge a child to follow their dreams. Mine wanted to suppress it and wanted me to be as realistic as possible.

Same people that gave birth to me 'shoved' me into job placement centers that would satisfy the fact their first born is a working man. I still loathe and disgust them for doing that. But I am willing to be a better man by loving them for bringing me into this world. Nearly ten long years have past since this 'karma prison' was built.

"Be careful for what you wish for, you just might get it." Today I can laugh about what I've been through. It has taken me a long time to find my 'other career' path. Someday I hope to thank the people who inspired me to pursue it.

Yes I still want to pursue a career as a film maker. But I also have a great deal of passion for children with hopes of someday being a mentor and a father. These are facts that I cannot deny. Love for two professions at my age felt like being two different people. Here stands one that does it for hope for a better future, flip the coin a man wants the same goal.

Solution? I am going to create films by using the money I earn with my full time career. Documentaries that I create are going to help inspire children. A percentage of the money that I earn from the box office sales will fund the launch of my own charity organization.

For as long I shall live I will always despise aptitude tests. No test can truly claim the type of person that you can be when you decide to grow up. It will only tell you what you should be. This is what awoken the rebel inside me and fight the battle to conform into society. I never liked being forced to choose my own path, I wanted to forge my own.
