About Me — Assumpta Nalubowa

I have but only two passions. I love to learn and I love to laugh. My whole life is organized around these two simple things.

Picture provided by Author (With my teeth shinning brighter than my future, these were simpler times. But that’s all in the past now.)

When I was younger, I wanted to become a movie star. Not an actress, a movie star.

And then I wanted to be a scientist — a physicist to be exact. Then a doctor. Then an astronaut. Or was it an astronomer? All I remember is I just wanted to study the stars and the universe.

Then I changed my mind. I wanted to design buildings. To become an architect. And when that didn’t work out, I thought I should do fashion design or graphics design. Any kind of design career would’ve sufficed really.

Or so I thought.

We like to think that we are one thing. That there is this thing we were put on this earth to become. So I spent my whole life trying to figure out what that thing was.

My reasoning was simple: If I just figured out my calling — my passion, I will forever dedicate my life to polishing that skill. I will spend my life in service to the world using my passion.

I was terribly wrong. I am not one thing. No one is, really. It’s just a matter of what we get exposed to.
