about
Just call me Calli.I like Jamie Bell and Cillian Murphy. I like Friday Night Lights and Desperate Housewives and Dead Like Me. I like writing, roleplaying in writing communities. I like reading: Harry Potter, Tom Robbins, Kurt Vonnegut, House of Leaves. I love House of Leaves. I like Adam Pascal in Rent. I like messing around in photoshop. I'm not too fantastic, but I like it. I like chemistry. I love Audrey Hepburn.
I dislike poetry. I dislike physics.
I am indifferent about Twilight.
I know nothing about romantic relationships. But I have friends. I have family. And I like them.
If that helps at all, there it is. If not, there it is.
advice
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.
Though you are not book smart, I don't know why anyone should call you stupid. I personally am booksmart and I call people stupid, but only if they don't seem to try at all in things. You are trying to save the world, this is good. Modern day Martin Luther King for the homeless and weak.
While you probably could not be a Lawyer or Doctor, a journalist isn't out of the question. You could write free articles, since you are persuasive and reach out you can write about the pain people are suffering. Spell check and editors can help you with grammar.
Or you can become a part of a foundation. Like AIDS help like I wish to be, PETA (though they scare me) and others. You could go from country to counrty speaking out against homelessness and corruption.
Social worker is also good. You could help people when needy people come in. And while you believe doctor is out, they certainly don't connect with patients as well as nurses. Ever watched the movie Patch Adams? I think you should.
There are many different jobs that can go with your strengths. I'm sure you can find one. Everyone can make a difference.
(Rating: 5) Thank you! This was a very inspirational answer to my question, and I appreciate it! I hope you do get to help out with things like AIDS, the world could use your will to help! Keep being book smart - go far in life - and help me change the world! :D thanks for answering my question!
