I'm doing 18 things

I’m a junior in high school, and I’ve been torn thinking about what I want to with my life, what I want to go to college for, et cetera—I really love English, but I also love film, and I’ve been back and forth a thousand times.

...which finally convinced me that I want to be an English teacher. xD
