If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh

Hi matt, how’s it going?

You may not be emptying bins across South London, but I would suggest that what you said to yourself, when your teacher gave you detention, has probably impacted on who you have become. I suppose the question to ask yourself is what really motivated you as a kid, before someone shut you down. I wanted to be a writer, but now it is the possibility I am living into that gives me who I am in the present, not some story from the past.

Sadly, my high school, a "magnet" school, has decided to force students to sign a waiver when they enter that they are committing to enter into an engineering field.

Careful with the whole contentment idea, it can keep you working in that crappy bar/restaurant job and living in your parent's basement until you're in your 30's

Thats an odd thing for a school to do. Do they offer you an alternative school to go to? What about life choices and things like that? And whats this "magnet" school thingy about?

True, it does depend on your personality type, but I have yet to meet anyone in this type of situation who is, indeed, truly content. I'm talking about the people who took the first job offered to them after high school,, maybe spent a couple of years partying, then maybe got themselves locked into various forms of debt...
...I'm talking about NOT taking oppurtunities as they're presented, simply by convincing yourself that "I don't want to" or "why should I?" IMO it's confusing contentment with apathy. Looking back I can see that I totally wasted my life from when I was 18 until I was 23, working in a crappy restaurant job.

At 24 I went back and got a proper high school education, then a degree in biochemistry, and although I've been making my living as a self employed artist for the past 10 years, I'm glad i did it.

NoN, I see you have plans, but suppose you didn't ,would you stil be as content ? The things you aspire to do take commitment and drive, maybe you should casually inform your critic that you do want to do other things with your life, i.e. let them get to know you better.
