So, as I senior in high school I've been asked this question quite a bit lately. It is, at least to me, probably the most irritating question ever. The reason why I think this? Well, click the spoiler tag and read my response to the question.[spoiler]"if things would continue as they are I have no clue where I could end up in ten years. The world changes quickly and much can happen in a mere ten years. I try to not picture the realistic future because of this; I do not see a reason to wonder what ten years from now will be like when we cannot even tell what tomorrow will bring. You can never really control what happens in the world; you really only control how you react to it and what you can make out of it. In the end you probably will not get exactly what you wanted, but you can make the best of what each day gives to you, and to me this is the better future."[/spoiler] This is just what I think. I'm wondering what you people think of this type of question and what your answer is.

I kind of like those questions, because the future is something I think about pretty regularly. I'll be transferring from community college to a university soon, so it's kind of a transitional period. We have family/friends who are successful and knowledgeable, and I like bouncing some of my goals/hopes off of them. I like having a direction, and thinking about the future helps me figure out what I want from life.
