The thing that worries me the most now is not having enough money. Only about a few years ago I’ve been really worried about money, not even me personally but my family. I wouldn’t consider myself cheap, or my mom, were actually generous with spending but that can be a problem. I know that financially my family is fine right now, but if we weren’t I wonder if my mom would tell me. It is something that I shouldn’t worry about but I would rather not put it aside. My brother and I are the ones working in the family both with two jobs, but our money doesn’t go to my mom or sister. I feel silly worrying about financial issues but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Especially with the way the economy’s been over the past year. Other than that I really don’t worry about much. I’m only seventeen and I have the mind-set that I can worry about things when I get older, I’m just trying to have fun now, worry when the time comes. Schooling or violence, etc, doesn’t worry me, if I’m not involved with it I really don’t care. I’m content with myself and my grades and if I get into nursing school that would take away one possible thing to worry about. I think now the world is a mess. With the war going on and how bad the economy is lets just hope we pick ourselves back up and rebuild what we had. Other than that I really can’t say I have an opinion about the world. Personally I live a happy life and that’s all that matters. In the future I truly believe everything is going to be fine, the world will recoup, the war eventually is going to end, and the economy will slowly but surely get back on track. People get caught up in predicaments that shouldn’t be stressed over. I may be a little too laid back, but so far it hasn’t done me wrong. I hear kids my age say how stressed they are or so much is on their plate, I can say I have never felt that way. I don’t know if it’s that I should care more or try harder, but I don’t feel as much pressure about anything like some kids do. I guess people worry about things that matter to them, for me it would be my family. Other than family, I don’t know what else matters. If my family is happy then I am too, but school isn’t my first priority. I would rather go to work and make money than school. Don’t get me wrong I love school and I agree a good education can get you far in life, but then I always wonder, our parents’ generation very few went to college or even finished school and they turned out okay. I’m not looking to be rich but I want to end up doing something I love, which is nursing so I understand you need a lot of schooling.
