Since I graduated I feel like everyone (not my mom) wants me to be off to college by Fall. Its like a military draft. All graduate high school students must go to college by fall or you are doomed. I get how college is important. I get how its different from high school. I understand how college helps you in the future. I listen to all the people with their knowledge but no one seems to understand and listen to me.
I am not stupid. I graduated high school didnt I? Let me tell you, I know there are people who think young people do not know whats best for them but I have been living with myself for over eighteen years now. I think I know better than anyone. There are teenagers who graduate high school and do not even have a clue what they want to do with their lives. Sitting on the couch and just watching television with no plans flowing through their head. Do I think thats wrong? No, but let me tell you I have known for years what I wanted to do in the future.
I know working with dogs and animals seems like a joke to some people but its what I call a good career to me. If you think I am going to just go to college to learn to work with a big company in one of those big business buildings you can dream on. Yes, those kind of careers you can earn good money but I would probably go mad. Waking up every morning and putting on a pretty work outfit just to earn money does not do it for me. Everyone seems to judge you by the work you do instead of who you are. So, I am going to show everyone who I am through my work.
Can a teenager be a teenager? Its like we are all suppose to just grow up right after we graduate high school. Grow up into adults and know how to survive. It takes practice. Just give me some time and I will get there. It will be a roller coaster ride but I will get the hang of it eventually. I may not be going to college but that does not mean I will not get where I want in life. Maybe the true meaning of life for me is happiness and living life. Everyone may be breathing but it does not mean they are living. So, my plan is to live.
So, before telling me I am young, dont understand life, dont know whats best for me or whatever else. Please remember all that I have written so far in my blog. Its all from my life. All from my experiences. Its all from a mind of a young woman who views the world in ways a lot of people dont. You can tell me I may not get far in life but I am smart enough to just let you go on with your opinion instead of fighting back and causing a big drama scene. I may not get far to you but I have already got farther in life than I ever thought I would. One step at a time and I will get there.
