My whole life I've been told and thought I'm stupid. Because I'm not school-book smart. I don't get good grades in the "smart subjects" like science, math and so on. I am so sick of believing this. I'm a different type of smart. I know I can make something of myself.
I am especially good at 3 things; public speaking & reaching out to people, languages (I know 4 different languages and intend on learning several more) and I sympathize, more than anything. People always turn to me because of that, I long to help. More than anything.
I've researched at least a hundred different professions in my attempt to find a major that will equip me with the right tools to help save the innocent from the corrupt and ultimatley change the world. I need a profession that will make me come alive. I have a picture of myself speaking infront of thousands of people, touching their hearts, or working at a homless shelter, somehow helping those who have been used, or anything of that kind. But in BIG levels, it wouldn't mean anything to me as a doctor or anything like that. It's not the kind of thing that would make me come alive, it wouldn't matter to me. I don't want to help one person at a time, I want to help thousands.. at once. I want to do something that would end homelessness and stimulate world peace!
I am compassionate and am able to provide stability in people's lives when they are shaken up. I am 16 years old, female, and more than anything.. I want to do something with my life.
No one believes in me, because I am not suited for the typical "good jobs" I will never have the grades to become a Lawyer, Doctor, Journalist or any of the sort.
Help me, what can I become? And how do I get there?
Thank you so much! And please, don't read this and think "what a dreamer, everyone thinks they'll save the world.. this one doesn't even have good enough grades.. she doesn't even know how to spell" Please, I have enough people thinking that way, if you can't help me, fine. But I'm begging you, don't think like that.
Hey! I'm sixteen too, and I'm exactly like you. Well I think like you. I also am not book smart. I'm better with helping people by listening and solving their problems, you know. I take it you are a girl with an AMAZING heart, and you care for people, and are probably quite perceptive.
You have 3 qualities that WILL get you very far in life. I believe in you!! This makes me so happy actually! If more people were like you, this world could be so much better. I'm not good at suggesting what you should do really, but I would just like to say, that I support you, and I know you can make it. With an attitude like yours and the heart and soul to help others, you will make a HUGE difference in so many people's lives. I'm sorry I didnt really answer your question, but what you wrote really made me happy, I love that you care for others and its not just all about you. God bless!
(Rating: 5) THIS IS THE SWEETEST THING! I feels so good to know someone believes in me, even if it is a stranger! Thank you for supporting me and believing I can make it! My whole life I've wanted to hear those words! Thank you sweetheart! I'm sure you're making a BIG difference in peoples lives by supprting them the way you've supported me! OH MY GOSH i really can't get over how sweet this was! THANK YOU
