I'm having a bit of trouble and i need some help?

Question

I am currently attending the bronx high school of science and I'm going to be a sophomore this year. I have a GPA of bout 94.43. Now the problem is, I'm not a very... well happy person. I think about what my purpose is and its kind of strange to me how my parents just want me to study and become a doctor. I guess I just don't like the way things are going for me. Let me mention that I'm Indian so I'm basically tabooed from even considering any sort of relationship until after college. I have no one to talk to because I consider my parents extremely ignorant and annoying. In addition, i'm under a ton of pressure from my brother to study for the SATs. My brother is a nerd and ALL he wants me to do is study. I hate the SATs and I often find it simply unbearable to study. The way I was raised has condemned me into being kinda shy and awkward around most people. I often wonder why I feel so bad when I don't study, and will doing what I am doing eventually lead to a feeling of fulfillment, because quite frankly I feel like there is a void inside of me. Yes that must sound incredibly cheesy :) I apologize for the length of this question and I would appreciate any consolation, perhaps from one who has gone through this process and attends a high ranking university. I mention a high ranking university because well I really want to attend an ivy league someday. Perhaps that will boost my morale =D

Answer 1

you may feel this way now but think about this as a doctor you can spend your days helping others and making the big bucks you can marry anyone you want and live the high life. right now your feeling bad because you wish you could be hanging out and going to party's not studying so you feel a void don't worry when you get to college and away from your parents you will have the time of your life you will meet new people and try new things this void will be gone.  

Answer 2

First off, s***w what others think of you based on your family roots. I myself am South American, and get called the Hindu Hammer. Unfortunately for me, I am some what of a jock, so I am not experiencing the un-girlfriend issue, however, in the end, after focusing on your school, you will end up being superiorly successful, and eventually not have to worry about anything. Instead of being a doctor, have you ever thought about being in the field of business. If I were you, I would try to get into NYU and then transfer to Columbia University, get your MBA, and you'll be making about $180,000 - 200,000 year after graduating, which is great. Especially with your intelligence, you can get in there somewhat easier than others, and Columbia is considered an Ivy League, and NYU is one of the best colleges in Business. AND don't forget to do extra circular activities, because colleges look for well-rounded students, not the smartest. Once again, good luck.    

***And the biggest thing of all- you will be in the party capital of the world, and get all the chicks you want.***
