So, I have just recently moved into my third year of Academy (Or, high school as some may call it), and it's the first year I've gotten to actually choose my own subjects. It is compulsory to take core subject such as English, Maths, RE (Religious Education) and PE. I think that's it. When we were just going through the process of choosing our subjects we were also getting help in lessons from our guidance teachers on knowing which subjects were for what career. It was all good, the websites we went on helped a lot, but I had a dilemna. I have no idea what I want to do.
When you have complete choice over anything you could do, you suddenly feel very pressured. I had to pick a career that would provide me with money to live off of but I also had to pick a career I enjoyed. Again, this should be easy, but it still wasn't. The careers I would like to do are very hard to get into such as acting and media. I would love to be an actress, or be a professional youtuber. In all honesty, I'd also love to have my own radio show, or chat show! But soooo many people have these exact dreams and goals as me, making it so difficult.
I was just getting so stressed and I had no idea what to do. I would just stare at this sheet of paper with subject choices with my pencil in hand at the ready. The way the system worked was, there were four columns: Sciences, Expressive Arts, Social Subjects and Technical (Design & Manufacture, Computing, things like that). Those were quite easy considering I had to take one of them. And after that I would choose 3 more subjects in addition to those, and 2 reserves in case any of my chosen classes were full. It took me a while, because I would choose a career I wanted, and then the next I would like a different career. All I want to do right now is something in media. That world just seems so attractive to me! I'm a very open person, I'm also very attention-seeking when it comes to it so I doubt privacy would be an issue for me, unless they were trespassing into my house, that's a completely different issue. I'm outgoing so I would love to be interviewed and going on chat shows. It's not even the glamour part that's attractive to me, it's just the fact that people will see me doing what I love. That sounded so cheesy.
Making decisions this early in life is such a task, but my advice to anyone who is, or will be going through this decision is: Go for what you love. If you love science, go down the science route! Take every science you can and do your very best. Set yourself a goal, and don't stop until you achieve that goal.
I love you!
