It is all up to you. You are a creative being and there's nothing that you can't achieve if you put your entire being into it -- no matter what. But these questions still remain to be asked -- are you prepared to put your entire being into the effort of overcoming whatever hurdles are on your way to your goal? Is the goal something that you think will make your life here on earth a rewarding experience? IF you can _truly_ say that the answers to both questions are "Yes" then you will have what it takes to get to your goal. But after all is said and done, whatever goals you aim to reach in this life, the joy of living is always in the journey itself. Can you truthfully say that you have truly _lived_ each present moment of your life -- each day better than the day before, each year better than the year before? Did you focus on living the virtues of life -- love, joy, peace, beauty, etc. ... You may not be able to practice all such virtues at the same time or even at the same moment every day. But focus at first on one such virtues and the rest will follow. I am guessing that you are around 13 or 14, knowing that you will be entering the 8th grade soon. You're young and have a lot or promise in you. But I know that you are not too young to comprehend and take to heart what I've stated above. Godspeed...
