Jessika Bertrand, Grade 12: What if I don't know what I want to do?

Chelsea Garth, 3rd Year Queen's University: Well there is a lot of different choices available to you, and it is a really hard decision to make so I would suggest trying to use the different resources available to you at your high school. A lot of high schools have education libraries with different course calendars and syllabi from a bunch of different institutions. You can talk to your guidance counselor. There are aptitude tests that you can try and take to see if that would help you figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life. It is a huge decision and it does require talking to a lot of different people and doing a lot of research, but in the end the more research you do the better informed decision you are going to make and that's going to have a huge baring on where you end up and what you make of the rest of your life. It is worth putting the time and effort into it, and it will pay off.
