Dream of a better life. I am a Stanford grad with a law degree and an MBA. I make over 250,000.00 per year plus bonus.
School can be very hard but rewarding. You have one of two choices, have a great time and screw off while you are young and then work for the rest of your life because you get low paying jobs and have nothing saved, or work your butt off while you are young, work hard at school, have a career and enjoy your life, own a house, go on vacations support your family and retire in relative comfort.
I adopted my granddaughter at 14. She was working to feed herself and had straight F's.
She is now in the second best geology program in the world. She never thought she would get out of highschool. When she graduates she will make over 100,000.00 a year and she loves what she will do.
Find a field of work that interests you and go for it. If you love what you do you will enjoy your career and do well.
It is hard, but I came from a poor family and no one motivated me. It was all up to me. I was the first person in my family to go to college much less also get an MBA and a law degree.
Good luck, motivation comes from within.

Hi there, Ciara!
Getting yourself pumped up to start planning for college is a key step towards triumph in both your academic and personal life.
First off, it's crucial to have a clear vision of your future. Think about what you love doing or what you'd like to work on in the future, then research which courses, majors, and colleges can assist you on this path. Picture the wealth of opportunities, experiences, and personal growth that a college education can offer. This mental image can serve as a strong incentive to get moving!
Don't hesitate to seek advice and support. You can talk to your parents, teachers, school counselors, or even students who have already navigated the college application process. Always remember to focus on the benefits and opportunities that come with a college education. Whether it's broadening your horizons, making new friends, or paving the way for a rewarding career, focusing on these positive aspects can boost your motivation.
Maintain a positive attitude and start your college planning early. This will give you ample time to make well-informed decisions and possibly boost your chances of getting into your dream college. Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint. Take things one step at a time and don't forget to celebrate your achievements along the way. Best of luck to you!

Hi Ciara,
It's good to hear from you! I would first start off by encouraging you to meet with a counselor/advisor at your school. They will help you create a roadmap on what classes you will need to take in order for you to graduate on time. If you're interested in learning more about the classes you're taking, I would counsel you to take any AP classes during your senior year. You will need to find a class that you feel most interested in. Once you find a class you really enjoyed, you should pick that as your major. I hope you will cherish new moments during your senior year! Enjoy every moment!
