Okay, I just wanted to rant. I don’t know if this is at any of y’all schools, but at mine, we are pressured so much to know exactly what we are going to be when we grow up and how we’re going to get there. I am not even old enough to drive and you expect me to know what I’m going to be doing for the rest of my life? I understand that we need to know our options and the best way to get there, but I have no idea what I want to be and I actually had to do a month long project recently, focusing on what we want to be. The teacher pressured me to make a decision right then and there. I also understand that I probably won’t be what I chose, but it still irritates me. Another thing, I don’t really get to choose my electives. I always get the college credit ones because that’s what my parents want and then I have one left that focuses on what I’m kind of interested. When I was little, I loved to sing and act, and I was, and still am kind of good at it. I never got to do it in school because I had to be thinking about the future and it was highly unlikely that I would get into a good college with that. Just needed to rant to someone. Thanks!
