Yes, you can follow your dreams, but graduate high school first and certainly go to college if you can! If you're so keen on following your dreams then do the things that will help you to do so! I hope you're at least making good grades in English and ideally taking creative writing or journalism as electives! Whatever you do don't be a douchebag lazy bones about it and drop out of school just because you can. I have my high school diploma, but sadly I did drop out of college for an idiotic and cliché reason; I regret that bad decision to this day!
There are many parts of the world where even a basic education is near unobtainable, and a college education is becoming increasingly more expensive, at least in the United States, so try to not be so impatient to start your romantic starving artist career as a writer. Seize and appreciate every educational opportunity you get, and you will have a better chance at realizing your goals. Also you might want to learn how to wait tables, you gotta be able to feed yourself while you're chasing your dream. If you simply cannot wait then start a blog, but whatever you do don't cut your education short, don't lead with your pride and ego. Best of luck to you!
:-)
Why am I going to spend my time on something that won't give any return in the future? I know that I need to learn English to speak with almost everyone in this world, but like I said, I don't want to do for profit, I just want to share my stories. I'm not afraid to commit mistakes while writing. I don't want to be stuck in the office, sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours per day. Sorry if I misread your comment, but I understood that you think I'm one of thoso who want to be famous with writing.
Actually I'll admit I wrote in the wrong way, and even missed a few informations. It's not just about writing, I also want to play sax through the streets.
I'm not afraid of abandoning all and failing miserably. Quoting again: "We only live once."
What have you done you regret so much? Aren't you pride that you broke the walls and tried to live against the rules of the world? When you die, you'll think about it was better living like a machine, instead of living with freedom?
I've been stuck in high school for 5 years. I'm 19 years old by now, and it's not because I'm lazy and don't want to study, I do this everyday for nearly 6 hours without rest after enduring the whole morning on school.
They're so exigent with the high grades it's hard to achieve what they want.
And I ask you, if I fail, what's the worst thing that can happen to me? Just because I failed, I'll die instantly? If this happens, I can always go back to the point where I started. There's not age limit to study again in the high school.
Hmm... well, I dunno where you live, but if you're in the United States you could take your GED. I do appreciate your transparency. If it's any consolation I had to repeat my senior year, because I had to switch schools.
I live in Brazil where a person's abilities and talents means nothing. And there's no such thing as GED or something similar here.
I've repeat two times in school, one in the first year, another in the second. If this didn't happened, I was supposed to be in university by now. You're way better than I am, and I hope you graduate soon and be happy the way you want to be. ^-^
Um... okay, thanks. I'm sorry for the way things are in Brazil, and although I do hope you can graduate, get a High School diploma and go on to college I also hope you can follow your dreams. I really mean that from the bottom of my heart. I really wish I hadn't been a college drop out myself. I dropped out for a stupid reason.
What you guys think about following your dreams?
