High school helps foster future interests and goals

By Ana Billotti
Round Table reporter

I’m currently a sophomore in high school, but I’ve known what I have wanted to do for a living since the sixth grade; I’ve known that I wanted to become a librarian, what I would need to become one, and even what colleges I would like to attend.

Not everyone is like this; I know many people that have no idea what they want to do, let alone how they would go about doing it. That’s okay, though. I’m not judging these people; I think it’s perfectly fine not to know what you want to do with the rest of your life.

But, at some point in high school, you need to start really thinking about it. We won’t be in high school forever.

We are going to leave our parents’ houses and go live in our own. It’s up to us whether we are successful or not. But you have to know what you are going to do to be successful.

It doesn’t always “click” right away with people. You might not know exactly what you want to do with your life. That’s what high school is here for, in my opinion.

High school lets you learn and experience new things. It lets you discover what truly interests you and what you’re really good at.

So, I say don’t be worried if you don’t know what you want to do. Take your time and let yourself experience life.

Sooner or later you will discover what it is that you want to do for the rest of your life. And then you’ll want to look at colleges and programs. You’ll be excited to do so because you know that that is what you want to do for the rest of your life.
