Turning Point
I think some time in every ones life there’s at least one turning point. There maybe more than one. My turning point probably happens more than others. My current one is going from a dependent person (in my situation toward parents) to an independent person. I’ve been thinking throughout the day what I want for my future and what I could do to make it better. Or maybe even make it goes smoother.
Earlier today my mother mentioned how I won’t have much to put on my college applications. She was basically referring to how i currently do not have a job. She was also referring to how little I am involved in extra curricular activities at my school. It doesn’t help that there’s not much that interests me. I kind of miss my past school.
That set off my thinking. What am I going to do with my life? Should I be more independent now to get used to it? Frankly, I haven’t answer that question yet. One other factor in my thinking is looking at my peers. Do they appear to be independent? Some do, some don’t. Some have jobs, a car, a license. I don’t have any of those. I know it’s my own fault. Maybe its not something I want to do just yet.
Thinking now, I think I need to step up to the real world and get a job, car and license just to help me be ready for the real world. I don’t know what will happen or what is expected. But throughout the rest of my high school years I hope it helps me as well.
Since I’ve been in high school, I’ve become more social, but I still have my bubble. I’m still shy around new people. I have a problem with calling people up I don’t know well. Its little social quirks that I need to work out. I need to step up and do that. I think I’m ready.
Now I want your thoughts. Am I thinking prematurely on this? Should I hold on to what I have now? or should I step up?
