Finding your way

by Marianne Tremblay

You are a child when you don't know what to do with your life. You are a teenager when you don't feel like doing anything with your life. You are an adult when you ask yourself why you didn't do anything with your life. Obviously, that's not the case with every adult and every teenager. But we must be aware that at this stage of our lives, adolescence, we will soon have to make a big decision: choosing what we will study. Personally, I can't say I've found my way yet and I admit that I'm scared of making the wrong choice. But until we have to decide, let's turn off our computers and TVs and take advantage of life. Take part in extracurricular activities, learn to play an instrument you've always longed to, travel, learn a new language, do what you love and try things that intrigue you! By taking on projects we can explore different aspects of life, learn what we like, what we hate and what we love, which will help us choose a career. Because life is too short to just let it slip by, and adolescence is even shorter.
