Hi guys :)
It's been an awful while since I last posted - and I'm just here so that my blog doesn't rot haha.
I'm on Winter Break now - for two weeks, and as of today, 1 week has passed :/
It's remarkable how fast time flies - just a few months more and I'm done with high school, after comes Uni.
I'm not really sure what to make of this, really - it's bizarre.
1 year less to think about my future is coming off a little hard - I mean, how am I supposed to know what I want to do with my life at 17 years old? I want to select a career that will allow me to help others, but more importantly, one that I will enjoy and have a passion to continue for the next few decades in this life God has given me.
I believe God gives each of us talents for a reason - surely there must be some way I can utilise my musicality in my career. I've always felt like my musical ability is never 'good enough'; and to be real honest I've always envied people who do music at a professional level. My childhood dream was to be a film composer - someone who writes music scores for screenplay - but it feels like that's never going to happen because I'm not theoretically or technically good enough. So music as a career - I'm not too sure about this route.
Last year after we moved I chose Film and Television as a subject and startlingly did really well, I got As and really enjoyed the assignments we were given - critiquing a film in an essay, storyboarding, designing pre and post-production, and directing a music video. Since then I have always wondered what it would be like to work in the film industry, but oh I know how hard it is to carve a career in that field - journalism included.
Health is another area I have expressed an interest in, and to do that - I talked myself into dropping Film for Senior Level Biology; one of my most challenging subjects. >< I have been thinking about becoming a Speech Pathologist, but then again - am I sure of this decision?
I don't know, honestly I don't. This year has been so far a whirlwind; especially the term I just ended. And in a week I'm going to have to go back to it again - I need an excellent OP score, and I need to push push push myself to get to where I want to be - wherever that is. :/
