Ive only just started high school, but family and friends are making such a big deal about what I’m doing with my life, Sure my grades aren’t as good as they should be, & I’m in Applied courses, I’m cutting myself short, and like most Teenagers my age, i don’t attend classes everyday, sometimes there are days in which id just rather Stay home and Rest. My goal for the new year is to Be more responsible, I’ve made myself a plan for the future, in the beginning it consisted of staying in Canada, Take up a Part time job later this year to pay for College, Finish high school, (Stay an extra year, to get extra Credits), move into a Condo/Apartment in Burlington, go to Canadian Therapeutic College, and after my two year course, i would move to wear ever i had a Placement to work.
But i want to get as far away as i can, My father completely despises me, & is already talking about kicking me out when I’m 18, Ive done nothing to Deserve this, and they’ve done everything to loose my trust and Respect.
Im just looking at other Possibilities, and Ive come up with an Idea, If i were to go to California they have an outstanding institute to practice massage therapy, and my salary in the USA is 30x higher than my salary would be if i Worked here in Ontario.
This sounded like a good decision at first, but there is so much more to think about, when im thinking about the whole image.
first) I would most definitely have to bring a friend with me, someone i can depend on, someone i can go out with, & someone to split the rent with.
second) The rent, Not only do i have to pay for College, i have to pay for Rent, and possibly a Car
third) To go to college in the usa, you have to get Accepted, here in Canada you don’t, you just pay & learn, so there is always the Chance i don’t get accepted, seeing as my grades aren’t great and i would have a High school diploma from Canada.
forth) Immigration from Canada to Usa.
Is following my Dreams in the California, to much ? am i being Realistic?
I dont hang out with the wrong crowd, i just have to get up at 6 am to catch the bus for school at 6 40, and i end up missing it, or get overwhelmed by school work, stay up to late, and cant get up in the morning.
OMG i am so like you
but the bead thing about it all is that we want more than we’re prepared to give..
i mean…everyone does right? just lay around etc and wait for the knowledge to come to us..
but i know that wont happen..
it is realistic that u might get accepted to a uni in cali…but it depends on ur grades…
and to get good grades u need to actually not laze around..like me
and go to school.
this is so easy to be said,rather then done..
I KNOW..
i used to be a generally good student until i got pregnant,and had my on recently..
it was a lot of work in school,and getting my self fit for the baby etc
but somehow i am managing..yes i have stopped with my dream about modeling,after a few catwalks even versace..but my twin sister is carrying on with that now so i bless her..and wish her THEE best
but i recently realized so much how education is worth it..after all i am only 15 right now,but i have a son to look after not off my parents’ money in 10 years but mine.
now i am doing great,my parents are amazing,they can afford it so they pay everything for it all..
but i know that will have to change…whether i actually want it or not..they give me extra credit for many things,but later i will be a grown WOMAN with a child,therefore manage on my own..
try concentrating on something important to you..and maybe u dont know it yet..i dont really..so i try doing good in all subjects…and physics and chemistry are NOt the good areas for me AT ALL
i hope u find whatt ur looking for..good luck
