Post #2 - My Reality of Life

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” As soon as I started high school all I’ve been hearing is “what are you going to study?” and “you’ve got to study something that pays off”. Almost every week different universities visit my school to tell us what they offer, how much it cost and other things. But as soon as they asked me, “what are you going to study”? My mind goes blank because I don’t know what to answer. So, I just tell them what everyone wants to hear “I’m going to study medicine”. Everyone says “That's great!” I continue talking to them as if it really interests me, but it doesn’t. I mean of course I want to study, but I don’t know what exactly.  To tell you the truth every time they mention universities or the future I get scared because it’s hard to make such a BIG decision only when I’m sixteen (16). Most of the time I sit in my room thinking what I am going to do with my future?  I see most of my classmates have their life planned and know what they are going to study. As days passes by I sit and think to myself “What I'm going to do? But the only answer I have for now is that I’m going to live my life to the fullest, enjoy every moment and start researching the things I like and the things I’m good at; so when I make this BIG decision I will do it with no doubts. Also I will know  that when I make this decision I will be happy with it, which means I will succeed in my studies and in life.
