If Only I Knew Where My Life Was Going...

Okay, so, I was cleaning my closet yesterday and well it just so happens that I found a book of all the classes in my school, electives and all. I'm flipping through it and then I start to wonder what am I going to do in the future? Sophomore year, ehhh, I pretty much did horribly, but now I have this determination to get good grades instead of bad ones. haha. Anyways, I'm now flipping through the book page by page reading all the courses and electives and I'm trying to plan it out. My Life Plan if you will. So Junior year, I'm taking, Algebra III w/ Trig, U.S. History, English 11, Spanish III, Chemistry, Strength & Body I, Finance, and Imaging Technology I think? I really don't know what I want to do in the future.Like, I honestly don't know what I'm going to be. I'm sort of wanting to be a Culinary Artist, but, they work for so long. Like 6 AM to 8 PM. And I don't know if I can do that... I like editting pictures and taking them, but I don't know if the pays good, and who offers jobs to this career class. I also like the idea of working in the hotel business, but I don't know if I have the qualifications. I'm so confused on what to do. High school prepares you for college obviously, and well, I don't know if I'm prepared enough. Ughhh, life is tough. I'm wanting to go to college and hoping I can. Speaking of college, SATs... I honestly don't know if I can get a good score on the SAT. I'm sort of confident in the vocabulary, but not so in the Mathematics department...
"I'm going to try my hardest and succeed" This is going to be my motto until I get into college, hopefully. Recently my parents have been increasing the 잔소리 and well, it pressures me a lot. I honestly want to make my parents proud to be MY parents and make them stop comparing me to others. Like whoever said in the testimonies at SBC, "whenever you (parents) compare us, that's what hurts us pks the most." My mom asked me yesterday when we saw these homeless men standing on the median of the road before a traffic light, with signs saying "NEED WORK, GOD BLESS." She said, "Do you want to be like them?" and I replied defiantly "NO!" Haha, then my mom started to complain about how they're just standing there when they could be working at mcdonalds or something.
I'm truly going to change my procrastinating ways and start doing something about my life. I don't want to be uneducated and living on the streets. No offense to the homeless. I feel sympathy towards them. I ask God for guidance almost everytime I pray. To help me see, to help me get through this life. I often like to use this analogy for Christianity. "Earth is like high school, and Heaven is like college. We all get taught and educated in God's ways on Earth. We all stay on Earth for however many years we need to get educated, be it 1 year or 969 years. Jesus is our teacher, mentor, counselor, principal, tutor, leader. But then at the end of our lives, We take the SAT. God is our proctor. our judge. Depending on your knowledge and application of God's ways and if you truthfully seeked to get into college through the teacher (Jesus). You get accepted into the most prestigious and honored college. Heaven.

P.S. I want to be more like Andy. He's a freaking genius. Feminine, but smart. haha. I honestly do. I'm even reading more books now. My most recent book I read was "Confessions of A Shopaholic."
haha. don't judge.

its joanna noona from SBC. lol. i stumbled across this horrifyingly long blog post from your facebook [status].

so. to comment. i'm going to respond. and its going to be long. just like your post.

1. i felt exactly the way you did at the end of sophomore year. but then i slid further into my pool of procrastination. pity. my transcript is prlly littered with Bs... and maybe one or two Cs [the one letter than makes my transcript hideous]. but. i've stopped worrying about it. and i dont wnat you to to end up like me. so. my word of advice for junior year is. everyone gets ugly from all the stress. more acne. more drama. more everything, from homework to friends. BUT. i know you hate hearing it from your parents, but its true. study first, then party. i think it's a good idea not to party too much. cuz i did. and i regret it -_-;;

2. homeless people. are homeless because they choose to be. there are so many organizations out there to help them if they wanted assistance. and well. its just cuz they're lazy. and tell your mom, the reason they dont work is cuz .. (a) they cant fill out job forms if they dont have a way to be contacted. or a home address. (b) homeless people make more in an hour than average minimum wage. some good homeless people make maybe 30, 40 bucks an hour. that's much better than 7 or 8 for working..
so if you wanted to be homeless, you'd have income. you just usually spent it else where.

3. SAT scores. i studied my butt off. for two days. before the test. i loathe the SAT. i failed it. study more than i did, and you'll do better than 1900. lol.

4. i love that analogy.

5. you're not talking about the Andy you were with at SBC are you?

interesting analogy....but isn't it great that we don't have to pass a test to spend eternity in heaven. It's purely by his grace and not by anything we have done by our own efforts. :)

AHHH im hungry and you are cute.

you're parents are lucky to have a son like you.
