Answer 1

Well, finishing high school in 2 years is very very very hard...it seems like if you're working that hard in high school, why not continue through a real college where you can get a job starting at higher than $12/hr? My girlfriend went to college for 4 years, and she started her very first job at nearly $20/hr...and she doesn't have to deal with blood, urine, or fesces.

Answer 2

That is fine for starters but hold back on the marriage and kids  enjoy life first because once you have them  you give up everything for them if you are a good parent. And think about being an RN if you enjoy the nurse assistant because you think $12 is good?? try over $60 an hour or more if you are an RN. Fostering is great I have done it for over 25 years and helping kids is wonderful. but trying to plan your life that far ahead could set you up for some disappointments if it doesn't go the way you would like. and life rarely goes as planned. Set short term goals and reach those first and put the big ones like marriage and kids farther down the list.

Answer 3

I thinks it's going to be hard being married and raising two kids on $12/hr. And I also think it's a little unreasonable to want to marry your high school sweetheart. That kind of thing almost never works out.

I would suggest pushing back getting married and having kids until later in life.

I love the idea of starting a center for teens in need. And I also love the idea of being a foster parent (that's what I plan to do).

I think that it's important for you to remember that as you grow and mature, you will change and your plans will change. You are still young! Remain flexible, keep your options open. You don't even know what life has in store for you yet!
