The Future... does it ever scare you?

[Babyjustrun]

I mean it .
Literally.
Like, if you have no idea where you are going, or it looks like the place you want to be in in ten years may not be accessible?
Of course, I know to always follow your dreams, but.. god. It scares me.
I want to live in LA once I graduate from high school. My parents told me that if I plan to attend a school in the states I better get a full scholarship. I am an A+ student, but it's very hard to try to keep those grades up, and still manage to have fun. I asked if I could have a year off in any city of my choice, they said no, if it wasn't going to be in my hometown, or somewhere nearby, because all the money I would earn would not go towards university, it would go towards my rent.
So now, they left me with two choices:
- Get a full scholarship
- Be an intern at Disney.

Sure it seems perfect to be an intern at Disney, I'd love it. But the only thing is, the internship is better in Florida, but I don't want to live in Florida. I want to live in Cali. So unless I can find a better internship that might pay, I think I might have to go to full scholarship. Money isn't abundant in my house, we definately aren't poor, but let's just say student loans will be in order without scholarship.

I'm scared of a lot. but there are three things I've never been scared of, and never will be scared of.

the future

death

the unknown

because I'll have to face them all someday, why run around and try to aviod them.

I heard a quote once that I have lived by since I heard it.

"everything is okay in the end. if its not okay, then its not the end"

so everything will turn out alright.

thanks.

i'm not trying to run away, but find out what i want to do. everybody has that something, and i'm still looking for it. so i'm just looking into options that are available in things i already know what i want.

it scares me.. but i'm not worried... try to figure that out..
I have no clue where i am going or what i am doing...
I'm waiting for a big flashing neon sign to tell me what i'm supposed to do/where i'm supposed to go... but it hasn't happened yet
but agreement especially the last paragraph.
My family isn't poor but we aren't rich.. especially with this adoption... so i am in need of an internship, scholarship, and student loans...
and i'm not a A+ student altho i try to be..

one of my favorite things to read on the Disney College Program thing is the 'Special consideration will be given to Disney Animated Character "look-alikes" and individuals 4' 8" - 5' and 6' - 6' 3".'

i'm abnormally short : )

 

[rob'n]

when i think about the rest of my life it makes me scared to set goals because i am to aafraid that i won't reach them,that is what scares me the most. and whatever you decide to do is right for you...b/c everything happens fpr a reason. i do believe that....

 

[polysisterchick]

... i don't think i look like a character... and i'm 5'4" prolly gonna end up 5'6"

i want to work at the Haunted Mansion lol

 

[CrazyChik]

i have goals and i willl achieve them coz i'm not a quiter but sometimes i think maybe my future isn't planned that way but you can't be scared of something like that ome day you'll have to face it

 

[BlueEyes9605]

When I actually stop to think about my future, it scares me cause I have no Idea where I'll be. I mean I'm not gonna be homeless or a druggie, cause that's just not me. But lately I've just been living my life day by day, taking opportunities as they come along.

 

[Maleficent909TL]

Certain aspects of it does. Like my family is talking about moving to Florida, and the leaving everything here behind and starting all over scares me a bit. Where I end up, what career I'll have doesn't really bother me, because I know that whatever I'm doing will be something that I enjoy. I'm not going to end up doing something I hate for a living.

 

[minnie_2006]

i don't know really know what's gonna happen in the future but hey i'm not gonna try and worry too much about the future, i'm just excited about now and the good things that are goin on in my life

 

[Babyjustrun]

i know i'm capable of things, but as usual the stupid economic side screws it over. i want to live in LA, i want a good job. but to get a good job, you need to be in school for a while, and school is expensive. like major. and the fact that i don't want to stay here in Canada, makes it worse.

 

[DisneyGirl421]

The future actually does scare me alot.

Mostly because I'm leaving in August. I'm going away to Gettysburg College, which is like 3 hours away from my home. None of my best friends are going to college out out state. I know no one else from my high school going to my college.

I know everyone says college is the best time of your life, and I really hope they are right. But I;m also scared. I have no idea what I want to do with my life. Like, I have a general idea what I want to major in (major in history, minor in theatre), but then I honesty can't tell you what I want to do with that degree. I was all set for being either a history or drama teacher, but lately I've changed my mind about that.

*shrugs* I don't know. I try not to think about that too much. I just want to spend this summer hanging out with my friends and having the best time ever, and then when August 23rd rolls around, THEN I will deal with college. I'm totally looking forward to it and everything... it's just... I dont want to leave my friends and be alone.

 

[TheGirlin14G]

It scares me in some ways.. but I really can't wait for it..

What scares me most probably is that after high school, life completely changes.. living at home and going to school is all I've ever known - so the thought of not being at home with my family anymore(for the school year, anyway) is just so out there, but it's going to happen - so I might as well embrace it.

Besides that of course - choosing a college and a major, and paying for it and everything that goes along with those are worries.. but a lot of people deal with them, so I figure I can too

Kind of off topic - but I get so angry thinking about how expensive college is, but how easy it would be to commit a crime and live in jail for the rest of my life. (sorry.. random blurt of anger ^_^)

The future does scare me a bit. Sometimes I kid around and say "I like the stage better cause I know what's going to happen." But then I realize that I don't really mean that. Life may be unpredictable, but that's what makes it better sometimes. If I had a dream that was easier than being on the red carpet and making movies and stuff, I would be a lot less nervous about it than I am sometimes.

Sure, with college applications right around the corner, I'm very nervous about it. Especially since so many people have failed at chasing a career in acting before. But the thing you have to remember is that if things don't work out, nothing's permanent. Plan ahead, so if things don't work out, you've got something to fall back on. That's why I'm getting into teaching along with acting, just to be safe.

I am excited for the future. Each day is like turning a page in a book that I find more interesting than any I've ever read...it's a book I can't put down and with each turned page, I become more engrossed in the words...the actions...the meaning!

I am excited to see where I end up in college, how I obtain my career, what my house will look like, who my husband will be, what my kids will be like and how I will lead my future...

Comparing it to Disney rides...say the Tower of Terror...you see this massive building stading 13 stories high with incredible detail...you've never been on it before and you are terrified of it. Your family, friends, whoever may be with you at the time grab your hand and pull you through the lobby. You stand there and things are looking scarier than ever...but your closer now. You move further along into the attraction and you feel yourself getting very anxious and very nervous at this point. But your with people. Then, the elevator doors open, your friends and/or family are already seated and you can't go back now...no matter what you HAVE to walk onto that ride. You are forced to brave up.

The doors close and at the end of the ride, you exit and realise, that wasn't so bad. You're alive and you can't wait to ride it again!
