Subjects

You know how in year eight we were given an options paper. We were all so excited about all the choices and which ones we were going to choose, our interests and everything else.

Year nine, things were getting a bit more srious about the subjects we were picking, already have found out some are really out of your comfort range and there are some that can bore you to sleep (trust me on that one, I have been very close many times).

But in year ten you have to decide what subjects you are going to do for NCEA, which is actually a very stressful choice, because you need to already know all of this certain stuff from the years before, like if you started in a German class in year nine and decide in year eleven that you are going to take french because you are now bored of German, it doesn't work that way.

But with subjects that are enjoyable like Music, Art and Drama (for me anyway(well mostly)) how are they going to help you going into a career, whether it be medicine, biology or politcs, what was the point, you were just wasting your time.

It is quite aggrivating when a teacher tells you that you are great at something, and you feel all happy and like you really are that great,then later you're like, 'oh', you have to be REALLY good to actually make a career out of anything like that and they aren't as stable a job as going into retail or banking, which you basically can't screw up. Its just difficult.
