Right about now I don't whether or not college is right for me. The only reason I can think of as to why I am attending this school is because so many people are counting on me and have such high expectations for me. The other reason is because I really want to be some type of doctor because they make lots of money. These are the only two reasons and they dont really seem to be all that great. I dont know what to do. If I was to tell my mother this, she would freak out, but I know I am going to have to make the decision for me and only me. I dont want to give up because I am so far from a quitter, but I am really lost and not sure what to do. I bet if my dad was here he would know what to do. Dang I miss him, but I know I have to live my life for Candice and not for the people around me. Maybe the Air National Guard would be a good idea afterall, I mean I have been giving it a great amount of thought. Who's to say where I'll be in the next year or two; I DONT EVEN KNOW!!

College is not right for everyone. If you would rather try the National Guard or the Air Force, you could always do that and then later use the GI bill to pay for both college AND medical school. Geting out of high school and moving on to "adult" life takes some adjustment. Your mother may be mad for a little while, but as your mom...she only wants the best for you. Seeing you unhappy will not be what she wants. So, maybe you should talk to her. Being a doctor because they "make lots of money" is NOT the best reason. You have to do that because you want to. Many other careers exist that make good money....money is important, but happiness and contentment and enjoyment have to come first. Talk to your family, your pastor...anyone that can help you. Its ok to take a different path, if it is the right path for you. Good luck.
