What the future holds

The intent of this blog was to focus on areas of interest for career opportunities and while I have some ideas of what I want to do, I am still as confused and unsure as I was when I started. Reading other people's blogs inspires me to be passionate about certain things and have some sense of direction, but when I ask myself what I want to do in my life, I am encountered with a question mark. Some people have known exactly what they want to do since they were little and know exactly where they are going in the future, others have developed interests over the years and have some plans for their future, and then there are some people like me, who either have no idea what they want to do or have some ideas but aren't sure if those ideas would be a good fit for them . It is hard to choose a specific career field when I have barely seen the real world, I'm only a junior in high school. I fear that what I may want now, I may not won't later in life. Yes in college, I would be allowed to change my major, but what if I am still unsure of what I want in college. It would be really helpful if I could do an internship at some psychology clinic, or be an intern at a local police department and see what the homicide department does on a daily basis or see how psychologists deal with their clients. I've always had a certain vision for the future where I have a stable job, and I am involved with additional activities on the side that relate to my hobbies, like writing and playing tennis. I hope that by the end of next year, my senior year, I have a more definite answer when I ask myself what I want to do with my life.
