    I was in this place in my life where I thought that if I would have taken a year off from school before heading into college I could've figured out exactly what I wanted to do instead of wasting money. Are you getting a college education because you want to or because it's expected of you?

    Before I had my son Noah, I had a plan for what my life was going to be like, I knew what I wanted to be and where I wanted to go. I wrote it down on pen and paper, in full detail. But then I found out and my boyfriend was expecting. Then our life plan changed. Never in a billion years did I expect that I was going to be having a baby so soon. It wasn't in plan until I was 24 years old. But having my little one was the best that's ever happen to us. I love where I'm at in life, I'm excited about where this journey of parenthood will take me

    I am 22-years-old and can honestly say I do not know. I am in college but do not enjoy it. I have changed my major about 4 times because I keep finding things that interest me but, end up always confuse. If I had done it again, I would have taken a year off college to travel. It would probably have a better outcome that putting myself in debt for something I did not want in the first place.

    Fortunately, I wanted the degree which I was expected of. Unfortunately, this is not happening to all. Everyone likes something, But they do something else, may it be for money or for status or for parents. If we do what we are expected of, then everyone around us will be happy but we cannot be.

    So, do what you have to do, But enjoy while you can.

    I do and I don't. I want to be an author and write books for a living, but want to more than that. I want to help others by charity work, but need money that I don't have. I am disabled and home bound and waiting for SSI. I feel like my life has been at standstill, but I am working on doing what I can until I am able to do more for others.

    I'm 17 and I'm graduating early and getting a head start by going to community college to get my CNA license (Medical Assistant) because now and days before you become a nurse you have to have at least 6 months of experience before you go to nursing school. I've always wanted to be a nurse since I was little and still live up to that dream till this day
