I feel like I'm just going through the motions. Is that possible? I go to school and do what is expected of me. I don't do anything else... I don't feel like I'm doing what I want to be doing. I HATE school. I don't want to be there... And yet I go.
This stemmed from a darling little "talk" I had with my dads boss today. This man is a very successful business man, he owns his own company and has 3 sons, one of them being my age, who is a complete genius. Today when he asked about my grades I kind of mumbled something about not really knowing. I then had the HONOUR of getting a nice lecture about how I need to have "goals in life" to "get where I want to go". He then told me I need to get 90s if I want to succeed. I'm sorry I'm not a genius like your son, BUD, but back off. You're not my father.
I feel completely unmotivated in life. How bad is that? I'm supposed to be doing things I like....
Peace&Love
Take it easy... whether or not you care about school now, it will make life a lot easier later on if you get good grades, no matter what you want to do. And if it helps any, I still don't know for sure what I want to do, and I'm pretty sure I'm older than you. There are always going to be people like your dad's boss, who never think you're trying hard enough. They are rarely satisfied and trying to satisfy them will kill you.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, keep working hard. It does pay off eventually.
Thank you. I hope you're right...
