Alright.. Souds like you've made a decision to forgoe the military school. But, don't forego the reasons that you considered that option. You knew that you needed some order and discipline in your life. You can still get those things where you are now.
Even if you don't go to military school, you can apply the principles that you would have learned there to improve yourself.
1.) Discipline. Set goals for your self and work to acheive them. If you want to stop drinking/smoking, etc.... Set a goal for a date to drop those habits. Then work toward it and stick to it. If you want to start getting better grade. Go visit your teachers after school. Have them help you gameplan to improve your situation. They can help you set goals, and you can work toward those goals.
2.) Stability. I went to a seminar recently held by a man named Brian Buffini. He helps people get motivated to become more successful. One of his key principles is that you have to understand and seperate stability from success. So many people try to reach out for success before they stabalize their life. For example, investing in the stock market without first having health insurance. For you, work on getting some stability in your life. Forget the girlfriend, forget some of those lofty goals like owning the greatest Nissan ever made... Work first on getting stabile with your family, your schoolwork, and your habits and actions. Once you reach stability, then start working toward the next level.
3.) Spirituality. I'm not going to force my Christianity on you. But, I want you to understand that there is more to life than what you see before you. Man has an inherant need to seek that higher power. If you do, I am sure you will find hope and peace beyond what you currenly experience. So, spend some time thinking, reading, learning, talking, etc... check out the different organized religions and unorganized beleif structures. Find something you can beleive in and identify with. I garuantee it will bring you peace and hope and make life seem that much better.
hey, your only 15 years old. You have so much to look forward to. I can garuantee you that going through difficult times makes us much better people. You will be stronger for having dealt with all of this.
if you can turn your life around now, the future is limitless for you. Good Luck!
