    Hey guys, I was just thinking, many days I wake up from sleep or just forget what I am doing because me doing what i am doing. isn’t what I want to do. I’m not older, i still have time to think about what to do when im older who i want to be but, when i think about it i can never really decide how i want to live my life.

    Right now i am a junior in high school i have a job i make good money, and i play sports. Many days i dream about being an athletic trainer, i love helping people. Some days I think about wanting to be a counselor, I love helping people. The reason i want to be a counselor is because i understand what its like not living who you want to be, and i feel if people are willing to help me find who i want to be i want to help others find who they want to be.

    tj, that’s a lovely sentiment. The wonderful thing is you have plenty of time.

    Have you thought about volunteering in a counselling/mentoring format to see if it’s for you? There are plenty of organisations you could contact to do this with…

    tj, you don’t have to decide right now how you want to live your life. Your life will probably turn out different than you imagine right now, and that’s OK, it’s like that for most people.

    Raeeka’s suggestion is good. Other than that, just work on getting to know yourself and enjoy the things you enjoy. You play sports, you have work, you have high school. That’s plenty to worry about! You’ll figure out your way of helping people as you travel through life. There may be different answers at different times.

    All the best.
