The pressure of finding out who you want to be, at 14

Lately, in my school there’s been a big fuss, about dream jobs. Who you want to be, what you want to do when you grow up. I am 14 years old, and in second year. So, me personally, I don’t have, ANYTHING, planned out. Who i want to be, what I want to do.

I have things I like to do, courses i find interesting. But a direct path, of what I want to be, I do not have. y view on the world, and jobs, and my own personal preference keeps changing. One time I want to be an author, then I don’t. Another something to do with space, but then I realize I’m horrible at math, so that wont really be a perfect match.

What irked me to write this article

We got questioned, in class, what dream job we want. We were handed a worksheet yesterday, to fill in. My best friend and I stared at each other, fearfully. Because neither of us knew, and still don’t know what the heck we want to do when we grow up.

Growing up

In general, growing up is a scary process, and adults pressuring you into knowing what you wanna do only in 2nd year, doesn’t help matters. Most people in class knew, we,didn’t. Also causing a bit of insecurity due to the fact, that we hadn’t known what we wanted to be, but they did.

As a child..

I remember as a child I used to have it all planned out. I wanted to live in France or America. Own a wolf sanctuary, be vet or travel to NASA, learn about space. I used to be weak for wolves, and animals in general. But, there was a small problem, the fact I nearly throw yp when I see blood. So the idea of being a vet was thrown out the window. Although, I still want to live in France, or America, England has also became an option now.

The thing which worries me the most

What I’m most worried for, is that in just 4 years time, ill be in college. Im also a bit petrified, that by then I have to know what i want to be, and already have been accepted into a college. Though 4 years may see like a lot, time moves a lot faster these days, and it could come right around the corner, with the rate time is moving now a days.
