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.
That was very touching to read. I back what Michele said so I'll try not to repeat but I will say never let what anyone says about you phase you or what you want. Being able to talk to a lot of people all at once is never something you can learn from a text book, it's a skill you're born with. I've tried learning various languages and have always failed (even at learning my 'own' language) because again I just don't have the skill to be able to learn languages and keep that information there. You're very gifted and you've a big heart to want to help people - your an inspiration because it's people like you that show there may just still be hope for mankind. :]
Also, don't ever think what your hopes are nothing but dreams. It was only a dream (maybe even a foolish one) that could fly through the sky, that we can talk or even see people on the other side of the world, that mankind would reach out beyond our own planet and into space. All those things were dreams someone once had and now they are a reality becuase someone didn't give up. Never give up on your dreams.
