I am entering another year of high school and ever since a say a motivational video in the 8th grade my way of thinking has changed so my real question overall is who am I. As a teenager my personality is very different I refuse to play video games and watch TV. Id rather study during the summer or exercise heavily. I love running. I love environments where people are enthusiastic like in practice and people yell at me because they are trying to help me. My dream is to die in the military serving my country and not of age. My parents one time grounded me from studying because I would not rest I have 100% attendance in a class that takes place 6:00am to 7 in the morning before school and have met all other requirements. My parents told me that I need to be having more fun but I have tons of fun in service projects with people I meet and with my friends in sports at school. I have been striving to wake up at 4:00am in the morning this whole summer and have made it through a couple times. My parents don't really like that idea but I still sneak out of bed to exercise very quietly. I refused to drop honors classes even though my parents wanted me to for stress relieving. I am asking a deep question if I have crossed a line where many people haven't. I am afraid that I might sacrifice my future family for a "nice" job. Please help! I am not trying to show off.
