I know everything and everyone comes to me for advice and gets mad when they don't follow my advice, realizing I was right. Not to be cocky, but it's true. If I don't know an answer, i'll tell you that I don't know & If I do, don't expect me to sugar coat the truth. You shouldn't fear the truth. "The truth never lies"

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. (link)

First off, I want to say that you are a completely AMAZING person. I myself have such a huge love for humanity that no one seems to understand. And I really like how passionate you are in this.
You should be proud of yourself because this is something that is extremely hard to find in people and it really is an awesome quality to have.
If more people had this kind of mentality, we would be living in a world waaay better than this one.
And don't worry about books smarts. Anyone can read and memorize things and get good grades. But that's not what's going to help you survive in the real world.
I don't know what career to offer you really, The advice I give you is just to not be afraid to get out there in the real world. Meet new people, Go to new places... You're going to meet a whole lot of people that may make you rething this dream you have, but never let them get to you.
As you get older you'll find your place in this world. Just keep your mind open and don't let people put you down ever.

WOW thank you so much! This was soo sweet :) Even though you diudnt offer any suggestions, you made me feel better about myself, and my situation. I can tell you have a kind heart - don't ever let that change. Keep encouraging and believen in people the way you do - I mean I'm a complete stranger and you seem to think I can make a difference! That is so great! I can tell you're going to mean lots to the people you support in your life! :) thankyou!
