Paths traveled

I've encouraged you to get your degree and have other options in life. Why? Well, you're 15 and you like drawing so you want to do that. When I was 7 I wanted to be a firefighter. When I was 9 I wanted to be Spiderman. When I was 15 I wanted to be Hugh Hefner. We have dreams but as we age our dreams change based on our life experience. I'm not saying abandon your dreams. Far from it. I'm saying explore all options. You may say "I hate science" then you take a science class and realize that you love it. It's the green eggs and ham theory. You truly don't know what you do and don't like until you try it. Don't lock yourself into one dream. Keep multiple pathways open so you can choose which road you want to travel rather than letting the road limit your choice.
