Wanting that "Something"

Like with many children, I always dreamt of being something when I was young. Although I can't exactly pinpoint what that dream was, I just knew that their was something I wanted to be. Even with many years having passed by, and I'm just about to enter my last year of high school, the thought of wanting to be that something is constantly lingering in my head everyday. On the other hand, not everyone is like me. Some people know what they want to be, others don't; and to be quite honest, i'm envious of those who have already decided on their path, their dream. No one knows what the future may hold, but for one thing, I know that I want to be successful. I want to be successful doing something that I love, something that I'm good at, something that I enjoy and that others would acknowledge me for. But at this moment, what I love and what I'm good at... will that really lead me to the lifestyle that I've always dreamt for? Time passes by so quickly, I just don't know where to start and what path to take. Because I have to begin applying for university, I can't decide what's really right for me. Each day I contemplate asking myself if what I am choosing is really what I want. I envy those who have already took their first steps towards their dreams, who have sought once in a lifetime opportunities and who don't have to worry about the future that is heading their way. 

I've always thought that I'd have enough time to think, to decide and to choose what I really wanted. But as time passed by, I'm still very unsure of what I want to be. With my final crucial year of high school coming just right around the corner, my mind isn't yet completely set in stone.The future isn't as far away as many of us think of it to be, and with time just crunching away, my worries and stress just keep on mounting.
