We're striving for happiness through relationships, that's what. We school ourselves to find someone pretty/handsome.

I don't see how some people can get through the crazy stress that is high school without some sort of idea of what they're dreaming for. I would love to work in public health policy with the UN or as an orthopedist working with Doctors Without Borders. My motivation comes from aiming for something beyond myself. I can only make the world better for others if I work as hard as I can to place myself in a position where that is possible.

Niquii, I didn't even mean it to sound like that! But still, I wouldn't be happy with my life if I ended up teaching teenagers...

I want to be a otorrinolaringólogo just because it's the longest job title I've ever heard

UKgirl, you know that that's Spanish for ENT (otorhinolaryngologist, ear nose and throat doctor), right?

UKgirl23

Yep, so I'd have to work in Spain it just sounds so cool

^Or you could have an office in the UK for Spanish patients.


What do I strive for? To get into my dream school, so I can then fulfill my dream of becoming an officer in the Marines, and later fulfill my dream of becoming a journalist,and writing for The Washington post

Hahah it's ok. If I was a high school teacher, I'd be horrible. I'd be giving people referrals, playing favorites, mocking the answers of kids I don't like...which is why I'm not going anywhere near education.

I strive to be successful enough so that I feel accomplished about myself. For now I just want to get close to straight A's and go to a decent, fun, out of state college like Tulane.

To be honest my motivation to work hard in high school is to get into a fun, party, competitive school like Tulane.

E: I just realized I repeated myself.. Sorry heh I just hate repeating myself.

But as I'm here, I'll just say i that I think a lot of people on this site stress themselves out too much. Remember high school only comes once, and these might be your glory days. Just saying.

I view school as a competition. If that means 6 APs sophmore year, so be it. I love to compete and can't stand losing. I originally planned taking 2 APs.
Also, 6 APs doesn't mean no life. I just came out of 11 month relationship and have another gf atm.

Believe in yourself, that's all it takes.

Short-term: Push myself to see how far I can bend without breaking.

Long-term: Find an occupation that's interesting & challenging, while still being fun.

Do something I enjoy, have a stable career, help others, and have many options. Oh but goodnoodle's response is okay too you know if the stable career doesn't work out.
