Okay-so, my sister can draw, for a 10 year old she draws pretty well. And so, SO many people have told her art wouldn't get her anywhere, specifically from my father. And me and my mother still try to motivate her to have like an art career or whatever-'cause like-she has gotten awards for drawing at school-LIKE MORE THAN I EVER GOT IN ELEMENTARY IN ART. 'Cause we both go to the same school-(it's a Pre-K through 8th.)
I have been told that I can't become a computer software engineer 'cause I think math "differently", and that I should become an engineer as well(I have a small interest into engineering, but not much.)-but that doesn't interest me. Fuck her-don't listen to her. You can be anything you want, as long as you put time and effort into it-and thats what my mother has always told me-for example, one of the High Schools on my list (btw, my mom wants to put me in this one just 'cause its a charter-) is like-a regular High School. But it has NOTHING I want to study. And for the past 5 months I've been telling my mother how I don't want that to be my 3rd choice, and I wanted another school instead. 'Cause the 1st High School I applied to was for IT-Networking, and its a magnet school and everything-and like the 2nd one is just Computer Science. and the 3rd, well-it's just a full on tech/computer program. But yeah-I've been told I can't be a computer program or nothing because of the way I see math, and how my English is "bad." And my father had the audacity to blame it on my mom 'cause of how she didn't take me to school earlier when he CLEARLY told her to not take me. And for that reason, I was a mute child for a good 3 years-and I couldn't read well, at ALL. And people STILL tell me after like-10 years that I can't read well and stuff, and how when you work math it's always wrong-and you don't like to solve problems-or that I'm lazy. Yeah-call me lazy when I was the leader of my robotics team bitch, or how I was the one who programmed the most, or how I gave the ideas for our design for our robot? And how I wasn't even controlling while doing this?
My point here is that NOBODY can tell you what YOU want to do. It's your future-and like, do whatever you want-we only live once.
