Right now, your life is still an (almost) empty slate, and you can write on it whatever you choose.<br /> Don\'t be in a hurry to grow up. There will be no other time in your life when you have the freedoms you have now. Have you heard the saying \"Youth is wasted on the young\"? You are in such a hurry to join the grown up world, but it comes soon enough and the responsibilities and the pain of living in a decaying body last much too long.<br /> I\'m sorry, what I just wrote sounds so depressing, when I meant it to encourage you. I have taught high school, and I now have 2 teenage daughters. Keep dreaming about the future, but don\'t try to get there just yet. You are still at the fun part.
