Career
Thanks for your advice. I emailed my boss at the internship today telling him I'd like to take some time off. My only concern is that I wish I didn't have to do this at my parent's expense. I know they would have wanted me to finish the internship, even if it didn't result in a job. I feel bad but I'm going to take some time to figure out what it is I want to do with my life. I think, when I figure this out (if I ever do)--it will greatly reduce much of the anxiety and trepidation I feel about my life. I do enjoy movies, have no idea how one would go about becoming a movie critique, but it's definitely something I can research.
Thanks again; all your insight really helped. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me :)
Out of curiosity, what career path have you chosen for yourself and how did you decide that was what you wanted to do for a living?

HAHAHA. I'll let you know when I graduate highschool in two years. I'm 16. But I really have three that I want to do: Creative Writing, Film Making or Video Production, and Music. I decided this because I just knew what I loved to do. I watched a movie about maybe seven years ago and it inspired me to write a story. Seven years later the story isn't finished, but it has developed drastically. As for music, I sang when I was younger and everybody wantedme to sing everywhere. People said I brought tears to their eyes but I was always so shy. I'm trying to out grow that shyness, get my voice in a little bit of training, and just go for it. Plus I'm very religious and I love to gospel music, so I think I could really help somebody. And last but not least, film production. I love movies just like you do. And I'm the kind of person who likes the behind the scene footage and bloopers. I just like seeing the actors and actresses in character, and then out of the blue they accidentally flub up a line or something embarassing happens. And everybody just laughs it off and has a good time. And I thought to myself, "I would really like to be a part of that 'good time'."
But those are all my career choices right now. I even once considered being a preacher. But it all boils down to what things you like. Oh I forgot. I decided to pursue my goals by taking video production 2 and creative writing as my electives. I'm hoping to start a gospel choir at my school this coming school year. But you have to remember to be open to things you haven't done before. I hate sports, but people continuously push me to try football because I have the build for it. Coaches have approached me and the players have told me I would make a great fit. Of course my shyness overpowered what they said, but I'm breaking down that wall. If you live in a comfort zone all of your life, then you'll probably end up having regrets. And we don't want regrets but satisfaction. Satisfied with our life and ourselves.
Well I am so glad that I helped you, and I wish you nothing but the best in whatever you pursue. And let me know when you find your calling.
Good Luck!
