thanks guys, it makes such a difference having 'adultier' adults you can go to for guidance! Even when you have supportive parents/guardians/family members, it's just helpful hearing about adulting from a lot of different perspectives. What I have realised is there are millions of ways to go about your post-school life, even though when you're facing that change, it feels like there's only one Right Way and if you don't figure it out, you'll mess up your whole life. So that's why it's awesome to hear from different trusted adults and find out what their path has been like.
Another piece of advice I have is that you can reach out to any teachers, coaches, aunties/uncles/cousins, etc, any adult you know who you really admire their approach to life, and just ask them some questions! I have done this with teachers at high school and uni. They were always so happy to help. You could ask how did they find their passion, or what did they do after high school, or how did they end up where they are today? I often discovered they had a rocky start to their post-school life, or that they tried and failed many times before becoming the person I saw them as today. I heard really cool stories about adventures they had been on, that were often born out of mistakes that then turned out to be awesome opportunities.
I'm really passionate on this topic lately, because I was so scared but I'm finally getting to a place where I want to be, and it's all thanks to the support I was able to gather from the amazing people around me 🙂 (That includes RO, big time!!)
