I went to the careers counselor today to determine my future after year 12. It somehow led me to consider a career as a teacher. Ha. I'm not exactly sure though. It seems alright... and if I became a teacher I'd be the type that actually cared about her students and not bang their heads against a wall and drill in saddening messages like 'YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL' or 'YOU HAVE NO FUTURE'. But would the students like me? I feel really sorry for those teachers who do try but end up being taken advantage of.
Sometimes it seems like teachers have forgotten that students are human as well and that students have forgotten that it IS possible for teachers to be more than just 'educational' tyrants.
The future. Scary. It feels so far away, but whenever someone reminds me of how close my exams are going to be it feels like I've been woken up with a bucket of ice cold water to my face. I wonder, if this is how fast life is going at the moment, then would I ever be able to do the things that I've always wanted to do in the future? I'd like to own my own restaurant. That would be extremely cool. Food that not only tastes good but is beneficial for the human body, none of that processed stuff that brings harm to your health.
Oh, to dream at times.
Until then.

It is indeed a tricky thing. One could get bogged down in endless opinions and drivel dished out by supposed senior figures as to what your path should be. I don't like to be long winded ... well, actually, I do, but I won't this time. If there is one clear thing that I have found, it is that it's important to do what YOU want. Never go on a particular path just because you think it's expected of you by others.
