What do you want to do with your life?

I want to be a child psychologist. Adults scare me and I love kids, so that's why I want to do kids. Either for LGBT+ youth or disabled youth (my mom wants me to do LGBT+, which I would definitely love, but I'm drawn to disabled youth more.) I want to go to University of Michigan which is a really really really good school and they have a wonderful program! But of course I have back ups.
I joke with my friends that I'm going to therapy to learn how to be a therapist. But really, I have learned a lot from it. I also read books and stuff like that to learn more. I'm getting good grades and doing extracurricular activities so that I have a good chance of getting into a college I like.
I don't have too much planned after that. I do kinda want to get my PhD, though. That's really all the thought I put in after my first four years.

That's great you've already planned so far ahead. I say go for it! A therapist is a great calling especially if you enjoy listening to other people's problems. Sometimes you can better help others through problems or challenges that you've been able to overcome yourself so nothing wrong with going to therapy now. I always loved working with kids from the time I was a kid and my brother was special needs so i became a special ed teacher. I would love to get a master's in counseling or social work as there's more flexibility. Im also interested in the adoption field as I'm adopted.

Are you graduating this year?

I prefer not to say my age on the internet, but no I am not graduating this year.

I was originally gonna be a Video Game Designer but all the coding is just too much. I'm graduating next month but at least this shutdown does give more time to think about what I want to do.

Gah. Yesterday my mom realized I was graduating in 6 years, then I started questioning myself what I’m going to do. Most likely teacher or child psychologist, but if I’m a teacher I don’t know what I want to teach, and as for psychologist, some people advised not (I’m not letting them stop meeee ;))

I just want to teach kids all adults were kids once. I want to make a difference between kids and adults.
