I need some life advice..?

Okay so i am 14 1/2 years old, i am going to be in 9th grade (at high school) next year.





Neither one of my parents went to college, but they both own their own bussinesses now. we are kinda well off. but not rich or anything. and my brother is a mega nerd (hes 16) and is pretty much on track to get a scholarship to harvard. and is on the debate and speech team and is like #5 in state for both.. and my parents are trying to get me to turn out just like him. and im pretty smart, but im not really into that kinda thing.


i love to paint, photography, and most of all.. bake and cook.


i kinda want to be a chef when im older, but i dont know what to do to kinda get there eventually.. what college should i eventually go to? etc..





i just want to have a fun life. and not disapoint my paretns, but take risks and live life like tommorow was my last day (:


haha thats really cheezy.. but yaI need some life advice..?
There is nothuing wrong with your dreams as long as you prepare for the future. There are many schools out there for chefs and I think that would e a worthwhile career. Hold on tight to your dreams and work toward them.I need some life advice..?
You sound like a very creative individual with some good solid goals in mind for your future. That's great. You are way ahead of most people already! You and your brother are 2 different personality types but that doesn't mean you can't do just as well for yourself doing something you really enjoy doing. It's a wonderful thing to be able to have a career that you enjoy and it makes your life happier %26amp; more fulfilling than working a stressful job that you hate just because that's what everyone thought you should do with your life. The Art Institute of Atlanta (there are more in several states) has a culinary program %26amp; is a really good school for creative minded people. You should do some research on the internet on culinary schools or universities with master chef or master baking schools. It's a hard business but one where there will always be jobs. I'm sure you will find your way to the right college and end up reaching your goals. Just work hard, study and stay focused. Determination is a must and always persevere if you want to live your dream. Wishing you much success.
Samy Awesome advise from a 15 yr old-live each day like it's your last and I don't find that cheezy at all, but very true.


You know as teens we always want to make our parents happy, but the thing that has made me happiest about my daughter and grand daughter (19) is seeing them happy at what they are doing with their lives. Not all people are made up of stuff to be on the debate team. Frankly I would rather know you can fix me a Prima meal when I'm out to dine. It sounds like you have more of the artist in you SO go for it. Trust me, in this world you better love what you do for a living because you do it for a long time. The right college will come along when you are ready-bottomline is study hard in high school and get a scholarship and go to the college that fits your NEEDS and WANTS. God Bless ReggieR
