Even though the school year has just started a week and a half ago, I can already tell it's going to be a great year. It is my final year of high school, and I finally have some direction in my life.
When I was in grade eleven, much attention was paid to picking out what careers you wanted to pursue and what universities you wished to apply to. It always bummed me right out because I had no idea where I wanted to go to and no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I could not grasp that I was soon to be an adult, and it still seemed so far away to me.
However, I finally decided that I do not have to know what I wish to be. I know what I like, and if I take that in university, then I'm sure to get into a field I like as well. At least it make sense to me. I plan to do a double major in university. I wish to study history and psychology because those are two subjects I'm taking in high school right now and I've always loved them.
I remember spending hours in the Waverly library reading Psychology Today magazines for fun, and the fact that they were totally interesting. My aunt Denise has a minor in psychology. She told me she loved those classes as well. Maybe it's a family thing. She's an elementary school teacher and she teaches geography and history. I don't think I'd like to be a teacher though. I'd enjoy being a counsellor though. I remember I used to recieve counselling in grade eleven from a guy called Sean... I can't recall his last name.
Of course, my dream was always to be an author. However, that's a difficult line of work to get into. You need to be good, and although I think I am good enough for it (or definately will be) I would still like to get my education. It's practically a must, unless you are going into a trade. I wouldn't like taking a trade though, I'd prefer going to school.
