About five years ago I received the most important text message in my life. It was from a friend of mine and the content was related to a test I had taken to enter the faculty of architecture. So before receiving that text I had taken an admission test which all students should take in order to be applicable for this faculty. Since it was my childhood dream to be an architect I was very nervous about the result of the test. This is why when I received it I jumped off the bed of excitement. I remember it was early in the morning around 8 or 9 am when I opened my phone and I saw that message. My friend who sent me that message knew actually how much I was interested in this degree and how much I was eagerly waiting for it. I think that also made me very happy back then is that only a few people get accepted every year. So it’s around maybe 50 people only which means that everyone who is accepted is special and will excel in this field in the future.
