How did you get to where you are?

[jbr7]

The time is coming when I'll be heading off to college, hopefully to get a job and work for my living. One day I might get married, another day I might have a full family.

Unfortunately, I don't know how any of that is going to work out just yet. I currently don't know what college I want to go to or what I want to major in. It's all a mystery to me, since I don't have any specific interests.

I'm a good student and make A's almost all the time (thanks partially to the AP curve), and I seem to catch on to new concepts very quickly. Because of this, I have no doubt that I can choose from many different career paths.

My question is this: How did you (if you've gotten past high school...That's the easy part) decide what to do? What got you to the place you're at today?

I don't know how many older people roam these forums; my guess is that many of you are in college and haven't started actual careers. But that helps too, since I'm not even in college yet.

Basically, tell me your life story up to this point and what made you choose to do what you've done.
