Don’t be so hard on yourself. Everyone has the capacity to learn - regardless of their level of intelligence (or perceived level of intelligence). There’s so much you can do and if you’re passionate about firefighting, by all means, pursue it! You will surprise yourself with how much you can achieve. Conversely, you may decide it’s not for you and that’s okay too. I feel like I’m figuring out what I want to do with my life through trial and error - I am sure there are better ways; I remember one year where I went from wanting to be a hairdresser to lawyer to surgeon. I still haven’t figured it out but ultimately, I really do believe we end up exactly where we’re supposed to be career-wise (even if it does take a while). Careers are important but there are also so many more fulfilling things to get from life than just what you do to pay the bills!

Live your life; learn; make connections with people and things will fall into place! Good luck with whatever you decide - I’ll be rooting for you. x

I have no idea what i wanna be. My life doesn't matter so i don't waste my time in school anymore....it was more stress and i'm not smart at all. Had to drop out because my depression got so severe....

You will be alright. At least you know what you want out of life. If your passionate and its your dream, you will achieve it and will do fine.

Thank you for that sweet comment but i just don't see any good in me. I felt worthless since 12 years old.

I still don't know what i want and know i have no skills or talents. I suck at life.
