Hey Markl,

Things can be a bit overwhelming when you just finished HS and I can certainly remember being in a similar position when I was your age. It felt as though your entire future hangs in the balance and if you don’t make the right call now, you will end up as a failure.

The thing is, it’s not true.

I have known a lot of people who finished their university course only to learn that it’s not what they want to do. There are also people who worked in their dream job for years but decides to go back to school to learn something different because their heart is no longer in it. Then there are those that spent years jumping from job to job so they can make ends meet while perusing their passion.

Nothing in life is certain and it’s ok to not know, to be afraid and take some risks in experimenting. You will stumble along the way but the only way to truly fail in this is if you give up or conform into something because it is something that someone else told you.
