Career paths and performance at school
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" Some of us had the perfect answer to this question as a pupil, others detested it. The question is really - do we have to know what our career path will look like at such a young age? For me, my dream job has changed quite a bit, before I settled in my dream to become an author in fourth grade. Prior to that I wanted to be a ballet dancer, a princess, an oceanographer, run a pet hotel and become an opera singer. And I'm certain I'm not the only one with such unique job ideas. Now comes the problem: to be able to study a certain topic at university, you will have to reach a matching GPA. For me, my dream of going to university and studying literature made me realise in 8th grade that I have to pull myself together, in order to apply to my dream university. Before 8th grade, I was not -let's say- a very diligent student. I loved to read - I inhaled many books from our school library, but I did not put that much of an effort into my performance at school itself. I realized the potential risk of me not being able to go to university early enough and I still had time to make a change. But I find it problematic and also trubbling for those, who did not realize it soon enough. Childhood and especially puperty can be a hard time, where you struggle with your identity, your body, but also with your mental health and confidence. It is a shame that your bad phase in puperty can have this much of an impact on where your career path is gonna take you. It is also depressing to see some students not being encouraged in their strengths and interests, especially if they are unconventional. I would have loved the concept of clubs at my school , but in germany clubs are not really a thing. Clubs could be able to motive students furthermore to try out new things, deepen their knowledge in the things they find fascinating, but also find other students, who share the same passions. Working together with peers could motivate each other through that.

Prior to that I wanted to beI'd considered being a ballet dancer, a princess, an oceanographer, to run a pet hotel, and, to become an opera singer.
This sentence felt like no one would say it so matter-of-factly, for how exciting it is.
And I'm cCertainly I'm not the only one with such unique job ideas...

It's a long sentence that usually is split in two, but okay 8th grade can be a nonrestrictive clause and informally(?) split it, sounds alright.
Before 8th grade, I was not -let's say-let's just say I was not a very diligent student.
I loved to read - I inhaled many books from our school library, but I did not seem to put that much of an effort into my performance at the school itself.
I realized the potential risk of me not being able to go to university early enoughissing out on university time I would need, and I still had time to make a change.
But what I find it problematic and alsoeven troubbling for, is the thought of those, who did not realize it soon enough.
Childhood and especially puperty can be a hard time, where you struggle with your identity, your body, but also with your mental health and confidence.
It is a shame that your bad phase in puperty can have this much of an impact on where your career path is gonna take you.
It is also de's especially oppressingve to see some students not behaving encouraged in their strengths and interests encouraged, especially if they are unconventional.
I would have loved the concept of clubs at my school , but in germany clubs are not really a thing.
Clubs could be able to motivehelp student's furthermoremotivation to try out new things, and deepen their knowledge in the things they fexistindg fascinatingons, but also to find other students, who share the same passions.
