Lately I've been feeling that the school is making me question my sanity!
So, when I was in 8th grade, I had this clear vision my mind that I wanna be an astrophysicist or an astronomer. But, yeah I agree to the fact that life always pushes us around but, the matter of the fact is....I'm in last year of my high school and I've begun to question myself whether it is the only thing that I wanna excel in.
Answer is obviously yes, that I want to be a space research scientist, and for that I must excel in math and physics but....I've never been good with numbers. My math had always been weak and there is room for improvement.
Schools have become all about completing given laborious works within a certain deadline or our futures are in threat!!
I feel like if learning was made a bit fun and that we could actually enjoy learning at school, it would have been really easy to understand the concepts.
I have come from being in top 3 students in class to top 20.
I am not able to swallow it.
where did I go wrong?
What happened to my dream?
WHAT AM I PASSIONATE ABOUT?
Am I really passionate about becoming a scientist or am I really slacking off because of the competitive examinations and never ending comparisons that I keep doing all the time.?

Need advice
I am chatting with a boy that I like him so much , but the last days he doesn’t send my first or he doesn’t reply to all my messages . I know that he works...
meditate. the answers will come when the mind is calm.
also: if you want it, you will get it. imagine it, write it down and the universe will grand your wish.
ps; don't be so harsh to yourself (it doesn't matter if you're top 20 or top 3) (: life is always changing and the world is crazy right now. go on, day by day and you will land wherever you are meant to be.
ReplyAre you an Indian? Specifically do you live in Agra?
(I'm sorry, I might know someone like you, so just asking. I live in Mumabi though!)
I know it's hard to find your passion when the world fluctuates so much.
I'll tell you my own story, so, you know that everyone goes through that 'What the hell do I want to do with my life!' thing.

So. First day of grade ninth. I was in this special class that was created to begin preparation for the competetive exams you mentioned earlier. I was ecstatic, honestly.
I also joined this coaching center near me later.
Thing is, I was kinda tortured in class 8th due to a variety of things, mainly a rumour.
I was used to being at the top, much like you, but for some reason after grade 6th or so I really stopped making an effort.
I woukd study stuff only the night before the exam, and then ace it the next day because I have an amazing memory.
And I was a major defualter because of never doing work in class.
And also, I mainly got by on my reputation (I know. Awful.)
But, this year, I'm glad to say I'm slowly inching towards my old self again!
So, where was I?
Yeah, so in 8th grade we had this very popular notion that people who take math are far better than those who take biology.
Ok, what?
So, I again tortured myself for so long telling myself I can do it in math and stuff like that.
I love Biology and it is my best subject, apart from English and History (which both come number 2)
So, by the end of the year, I finally realised that I need to go with what I like and not with what those dorks in my class say (thank god!)
I know my situation is like TOTALLY different from yours, but know that it'll be okay.
I doubt sometimes if biology is my passion.
But it's okay.
Because the desicion I arrived at after a year of deliberation cannot be wrong.
You'll find yours too. Everyone does, eventually.
