Hi... remeber me?

[KMB]

I'm a little worried of going to college it's for kind of a dumb reason, (very hard work) but I don't really care as much.

It would be really great to be a Vet assistant. I'd be pretty good at it. I was actually thinking about taking classes for two reasons. One is to learn to be a Vet Assistant and to Learn more about England. I would like to live there very much but it's so expensive and not to mention different.

I agree that you should attend a college. Are there any community or Jr. colleges available? Getting the first two years out of the way at one of these is inexpensive by comparison to going to a full college. Sera300 is correct, a college education is pretty much mandatory nowadays. If not now, certainly in the future--and, as a hedge on your future should it not turn out like you dream. There once was a day when a family could make it on one income, not these days, so unless you marry a man who has a large earning potential you will probably have to contribute to the family budget.

I've also thought about staying near my boyfriend and I'm not sure if I really want to do it, I would miss him like crazy but I would really like to move to Maine with my mom for a couple years and then move on my own.

Volunteer work is of great help to many organizations. By its very definition it does not pay so how are you going to stay near your boyfriend? Do you plan to work fast food, receptionist, other? If so, I'd be looking for one or two roommates.

Why do you say that being a Vet assistant is not going to happen? I really want to know your reasoning. Nothing is likely to happen unless you make it happen. If finances are such that your education cannot be financed by your parents, then work and go to school like thousands of others. It may take you longer but so what. I have two friends who earned their Masters and Ph.Ds in their forties. People often change jobs or professions two or more times during the course of their working lives, yet to protect yourself, you need a back up to whatever your present plan is; college courses are your key to the future, present and future. If you do not continue your education you will be up against hundreds of people for those common jobs and many if not most of these people will be older, wiser, with more experience. College courses and a degree are a must.

Another reason for attending a community college is because the work is often easier. This is what I did. I remember a cousin who attended a state college and I had the exact same math history class that began with arithmetic and ended with calculus. We compared notes a few times and I was amazed at how much easier my course study was. You can take these two years to get the two year requirements out of the way at less expense and often with easier classes while at the same time developing better study habits that should help with the second two plus years.

Do not be afraid of "different". Explore and learn and broaden your horizons.
"Expensive?" Another reason to acquire an education.

I would love to go to college and I agree with what you say. Only the work is going to be hard and this is mostly my mom's worried about me going to college. But this is for me and I would like to have a real job and I can still have my voulenteer job. I've tried talking to my mom about it and she doesn't want me to go to college
But I shouldn't listen to her because she's worried it will be too hard for me.

Eventually you need to go out on your own, at some point in time. I doubt you will live w/mom forever or she can support you for ever. Realistically Mr. right does not walk in and sweep you away & marrying a man well financially backed is not usually often happening, you still need a job & life. Even those who are vet techs have their degree in an area with this certification on the side. You are a senior now; you have to make choices. Even Mr. right with a good financial way expects a woman to have a good educational background.

College is not at all hard if you apply yourself KMB. Besides, not going to college and working lower end jobs your whole life will be much more difficult.

Hey I want to share something with you all.

Me and My boyfriend are having some trouble. You see we are not supposed to be in contact with each other in school or out of school, can't get together nothing. My school counsler is a bitch she got together with me saying "Tim doesn't want you to contact him" and "He doesn't want to be boyfriend/ Girlfriend. But me and my boyfriend ride the bus together and I asked him if he really said that, and he said no. He said he loves me a lot and would like to be with me (like Marry me) after High school. But I'm worried that he may be lying to me so he wouldn't make me upset. But I feel the same way about him. I really don't want to leave him, he's so important to me as I am to him. But I really want to know if the stuff he said to my counsler was true. I'm really upset and confused.

If you are thinking about marriage in a high school relationship, you need to get out of it. IMO

Riding a school bus and talking about life does not equate a marriage in the making. Love? KMB, really. That only happens when being with someone day in & day out; like it real life. Forget it & get yourself a college education.

You have a long ways to go to grow up, as does he, before even really dating the other.
