I received a very important email from a lady who worked at the F.S. and according to that lady M.T. she is a media relations officer and she wants me to send a "proposal for the project" which is to be submitted by the allocated time and date which is July 15, 2013 to Oct 15, 2013. In this proposal I could be legible for a grant ranging from $1,000 to $20, 000. In dollars! $$$$$ Would you believe that?
I read the whole email from top to bottom. Again and again. I just couldn't believe it. What kind of grant is that? And what I have to do for that project? In that project I have to deal with animals. I will be in an observational research project analyzing the behaviour of animals whether they have feelings, emotions and cognitive abilities. To find out what kind of intelligence the animals have in that specific environment.
You know what? Have you seen Jane Goodall's documentaries with orangutangs? How she was able to learn the orangutang's way of life is to be there where the gorillas live. In the jungle she spent many years just to have that research be fulfilled in such a way that people can learn from their own existence. I watched the documentary and the movie that was made for Sigourney Weaver and in that movie the gorillas were killed savagedly. It was bloody. They were killed by the "people who would like to exist and be taken as important as human beings."
The weighing scale of justice. The rule of law for humans are different from animals. Humans have their own rights to follow whether you live in the urban or rural areas. Animals have their own rights too but its always the humans who think for their safety and security. Animals and human beings have feelings of course. But would you love to have a python, a tiger, a lion for a pet? At your own home? Hmm, you should live in a zoo.
Hold on. Maybe my teens will enjoy working in that kind of environment plus with that big grant? Who knows eh? Who knows what tomorrow brings?
I don't know why will I accept this certain project for what? Because it offers a lot of money? First of all I am not a Veterinarian. Sure I was offered a university course in UP when I was about to start my college but Veterinary Medicine is not my forte. That's not what I want to pursue. No one in my batch knows exactly what we want to be or it depends on trial basis whether we all should take first semester of college course first and find out where is the driving force that can make or break us. For sure if you are great with Mathematics pursue a career in Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Economics, Accounting, Geometry, Geology and other college courses that deal with Math. If you love Humanities follow your heart in Sociology, Psychology, Social Sciences and all that deals with human endeavour. When it comes to Science follow your dreams in the field of Biology, Botany, Medicine, Medical Technology, Nursing and Chemistry.
One can only find out at the second semester of first year in college whether you'll continue college education. For those with enough courage and determination education is very important even for those students who would rather study and learn with just little bit of financial capital but with enough brain capital as an investment they can go too far and will achieve the goals that they deserve.
