1. If I were given the time and resources to pursue anything I would take my first year out off high school and travel. I would take all the money I had saved up and explore what Europe has to offer. Having a year off from school can also backfire by putting me behind but I think within that year I would be able to find what I really want to do with my life. The past 18 years I have tried different sports and hobbies but I have yet to find something I am truly talented in and that I enjoying working on for long periods of time. I have always thought that given the opportunity I would be able to find something I'm passionate about outside of school and without all the other stresses of life. I have had an interest in clothes and fashion and the past four months of mentoring have shown me that I could possibly even make a career in interior design. But I feel like I would know for sure what I want to do with my life if I were able to explore job opportunities of design interest.
2. I think they have great influence but with me I believe attitude has more influence on me. If I am interested in something and I care deeply about it I can work hard to get it complete. My best work in school can most likely depend on me having a good attitude about getting it done right.
3. My grades in school are A's and B's but the value and point system seems irrelevant to me. If you know what is being taught and can apply it later in life when it is needed you should receive an A regardless of how well you may or may not have done on the exam.
4. I am pretty good with a computer and I am dependable to show up to my mentorship when I am suppose to but I have learned over the past few months that I need better time management. I will receive assignments but I will put them off to do other things and will forget to come back to them. I need more self discipline to keep me structured on getting school task done.
You know what, I like your first answer. Remember, there is no real 'time line' that one needs to follow. Maybe a year of travel, adventure, exploration would help with directing you towards your element. Maybe you could even work with a mission agency or something that would allow you to travel, meet people and put 'hands' on your faithI appreciate your honesty. I assure you, you have MANY talents and interests.
