Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.

I’m standing, and thinking of my future for the zillionth time.

It’s a moment I have never shared with anyone — not family, not school counselor, and definitely not friends.

I feel the uncertainty of what I am about to do. It is my future, and I want to be careful and intentional with my actions.

But I am fifteen years old, and everything I know about the world is from books, advice, and lessons.

I know that every one has a different view of life and some of their principles can be completely irrelevant in other people’s life.

I know from recalling the countless times I’ve backtracked from following an advice just before I feel it’s ruining my goal.

So, when I hear this man’s voice, I dismiss such reckless unseemly suggestion.

Except, it makes me sigh in relief.

I feel relief because he just shared his life struggle as a teen. —And though, it seems just like any other motivation talks I’ve heard,—  he mentions something different at the end .

I am at the point of choosing a career for college, but I’m confused , afraid and ashamed to admit my uncertainty because, everyone says they’ve found their life purpose, even already choosing their careers. I don’t know whom I want to be— yet.

But here’s a successful man on national TV, bolding speaking of his struggles as a teen.

So, for the first time in a long while of fear, and personal struggling and hopelessness and uncertainty. I feel okay.

I feel okay, and I embrace the unknown.

I register for college, and held my future in my hands without looking back.
