When I was younger I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do for a career. I thought that I wanted to be a teacher but so many things have gone through my mind to cause me to change my mind to something else. During ninth grade I changed my mind to something to do with physics. Most of my current career ideas revolve around it in some way but now I am getting scared that I’m not good enough at math to major in physics. After thinking that I should probably major in something else, many different things have caught my attention but nothing has really stuck in my head. The other day I was talking to my Dad and when the topic of college was brought up (as it usually is in our conversations) I told him about how I didn’t feel confident enough with my math skills to pick a major like physics. He told me that I shouldn’t worry about my math skills as long as I pick something I am passionate about that I will learn the skills as I go. Then when he saw that I wasn’t really reassured with what he was saying he made a comparison “When a baseball player is being recruited for MLB he won’t just give up on the sport he is passionate about it just because it will be har. He will practice harder in order to prepare.” Then I realized my Dad was right, I really enjoy physics and why should I not pursue it in college just because I’m scared I am not good enough now when I know that I can work at math and make sure I’m prepared for what I want to do.
