I try to not think of the future, as it can too quickly swing from happy dreams and desires to scary nightmares of 'what ifs'.
I have many plans and dreams for the future that will keep me happy in life, but I try to not let them dwell within my thoughts for long as the world of harsh statistics and logic follow them rapidly like a fox chasing a rabbit.
I used to dream of becoming a vet and helping animals, before it was being an author to fiction/fantasy stories. Now, I dream of working with young children, preferably as a teacher, but then logic of universities come into play.
Some are close by, I don't have to leave home for school, which is what I want, but then I remember that close-by or not a university is hard to get into.
Teachers and parents say that kids like me have a great shot at getting into any university, college, or workplace we want which relieves me, until I look at my "They're Okay" grades. Why would I get accepted?
With roadblocks and many more, along with many longer or shorter roads, all I can remember from my deep thinking is that no matter what goal I shoot for, I will have a big obstacle in my way that I might not overcome.
So, to not become depressed about the unpredictable future, I prefer to not think of it. I set a goal, and accept whatever is thrown my way. I'll eventually walk down the path that will keep me happy.

Jackie, there is not need to get depressed. You know you have skills and just keep your eyes open for the right opportunity. We've heard many times from guest speakers and classmates that you may change your route several times even during post secondary. Breathe.
