    Don't compare yourself to other people Alex. There is no set timeline to follow. Some people have everything figured out at 14 and others when they're 40, and that's totally okay. I think you're doing amazingly for your age and I have no doubt that you will succeed at youtube or whatever other career you might decide to follow. You are so young - enjoy it!

    Aww Alex, keep doing you my friend. A lot of kids your age and even adults still don’t know what they want to do in life. Heck I changed my major 4 times when I finally realized I wanted to be a social worker and it took me 6 years of college to figure out my plan. But your only 18 and you still have time to figure out what you want to be. That is what life is all about. It’s about making mistakes, figuring out who you are, and learning as you go on this journey. Don’t feel pressured by society because they don’t know who you are as a person. In the words of Kelly Wakasa “do What Excites”!!!!

    Hey Alex, I’m Rosa I graduated this year as well and I know how you feel. I have no clue what I want to do either but I know both of us will find what makes us happy and what we are meant to do. I wish you success in whatever you do. Don’t worry about what others are doing . Worry about yourself being happy and how you can make others happy because you seem to be a person who wishes to spread kindness to those around him and you do.

    Alex, you're an amazing young man. Please take a breath and don't stress too much. My daughter was an A student and attended 1 semester of college and realized it wasn't for her so she took a break. She's 21 and feels the same as you because she's scared she will never figure out what she wants. I could see it hurt her deeply but I told her its okay to stay at home and figure out her journey when the time is right for her. I feel it will all come into place as it should be and you don't have to be on a time limit with other 18 year olds. I feel half the time they may be living through their parents dreams. Just take it easy love, God has a plan for you. Wait for it 💖💖🤗

  • @drueanneschreyer9643
    @drueanneschreyer9643 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Many people are not sure what they want to do when they grow up. No one is an expert on day one. Life is full of trying new things. Enjoy that!
    Clearly you have put a lot of pressure on yourself to be stellar. You are just beginning. Your folks have learned a lot about this in the last 5+ years. Although you were there, it will still take you time to work some of the kinks out. Striving to be the best is okay, but remember that it’s okay to just do better than the last time and learn along the way.
    As for school. I had dyslexia and ADD untreated. I get not doing well in school. I found when it was my choice to go learn and not something that society required ( like high school), I excelled. Our daughter went to college to get a biology degree with plans for Veterinary school. At college she was required to take general education credits. She fell in love with a few classes and teachers. She ended up double majoring in religious studies and classical studies, and double minoring in Art History and Dance. Clearly, she didn’t become a vet! She went on to decide to get a masters in Museum Studies. She adores working with museum collections. These were not things on her radar at 18.
    Point here is, try some things. Maybe online courses of things that sound interesting. Maybe you are a hands on guy and would enjoy mastering a trade. Your options are unlimited right now. Take advantage of the freedom to choose while you aren’t needing to put a roof over your head yet.
    It’s also okay to change your mind along the way. What do you enjoy?
    Remember, a successful channel has to have something that brings in the viewers and keeps them coming back. Your big family has us coming back to the Crazy Pieces Vlog, watching the kids grow up, but your family is also having to do everything else that a family does as well, not just vlog. I’m sure it’s very stressful on your folks.
    Point here is, do some other things too, so you can have more insight into things before you jump in to anything 200%.
    Love you guys and I have faith that you will find your way!!!
    Keep smiling and Stay Well,
    -Drue

    Nothing you are saying is new, muh boy! We were all EXACTLY where you are! I don’t know if that’s comforting or not, but it’s very natural not to know what you wanna do. Some are lucky and have a particular passion, but definitely not everyone! You are so young and have time to try ALL the things! If school isn’t for you, try something else! If that thing doesn’t work out, try something else! I’m 43 and only really found the thing I wanna do about 8 years ago! It’s taken me several years to turn it into a successful job, but I did it! You will find your niche! Be HAPPY! Don’t stress finding your thing immediately!

    Dear Alex, you're one the most amazing young men, that I have had the privilege of ever getting to observe online. You have such an openness to love and life, despite your tough journey. It's wonderful, that you have finally found your true parents and family, that accept and appricate you just for who you are. Your family has reflected back your inherent "loving radiance" and now you reflect it back to the world. Everyone has to be who they are, for everyone else is already taken. Some shine brighter than others (doesn't mean than anyone else is more valuable than than anyone else), and you are one of those that really shine out. Your parents knew that the minute they lied eyes on you.

From the looks of things, it looks like you and James got plenty of experience behind and in front of the camera. I graduated college in Broadcasting and it was the most fun I've had in school. Imagine your homework being making a video or writing a script. Good luck and enjoy the next few years as its gonna fly by!

From education plans, to jobs, to living situations, nothing is what I expected it to be, and I used to be stressed about it 24/7. But I’m happy where I am in life now, and I’ve had opportunities appear that I never would have considered before. College is not the be all end all, and there’s also a lot of amazing trade schools out there if traditional education isn’t for you but you still want further schooling. Both you and James are doing a great job, and no matter where you go in life, or what you do, I’m sure you’ll find joy. Good luck!

Getting involved with the younger kids new activites. Go hiking or show off your hobbie besides you tube. If you don't have one yet take you tube on a adventure to find a hobby you enjoy. I have so many more ideas. You and James can look into the big brother program your a great kid and it would benefit others and yourself. Giving yourself purpose in life and have the purpose to help others is a great way to look at life. You have GREAT role models in your life and you will go far as long as you are being true to yourself.

    First of congratulations Alex on graduating high school. I’m so excited for your new chapter. I just wanted to share with you that you are not alone in the confusion after high school. I graduated in 2013 and I was set to go to college right out of high school. Then unforeseen circumstances came along and I moved back to my birth state with my mom ( to mention my parents are separated and I moved from my home and family so I could go to high school in California for better education. I’m originally from Hawaii). It’s 2021 and I just turned 26 and I now figured out that I do wanna go back to school and start doing something with myself. Just because you don’t know what you wanna do with your time right now that’s okay. Eventually as time goes by and you find something your interested in and want make a career in whether that be TH-cam or going back to school. You do what makes you happy. It all works out in the end. It just takes some time. I love all of your families channels I follow them all.

    Hey Alex, I do know where you are coming from.
    But I think that your parents, family (also your brother Josh and cousin Spencer) and friends as James have always shown you that common sense, patience and passion can bring you on track and far.
    You belong to an "un-traditional" but loving, successful and happy family.
    Look how your mom grew from a teen parent into a prominent educator.
    Both your Mom and Dad managed to find a vocation in life corresponding with their talents and morals.
    Take your time, explore, enjoy your growth and trust yourself. You have all the qualities to achieve the goals you will set for yourself.
    Thank you for sharing your sentiments and emotions with us.
    We love you and appreciate you as you are.

    Alex first off I want to say thank you for sharing that with subs.life is not like football where you are handed a playbook and told to memorize it. You go through many stages in life with each year preparing you for the next stage. When you graduate that is your time. Time to ponder what’s next. Many people set a goal and stick to it even if it’s not satisfying or brings you joy. Alex you entire family loves you and supports you. Follow your heart and test the waters. But heck you just graduated and moved. You are a big kid and been through a lot in life. Make this summer one to remember. Write down ideas of what could be your next move. You have the rest of your life to do the whole {Adulting} thing. Follow your heart, it will help lead the way. 💙✌🏼👍🏼

I think the best thing you can do after highschool is discover what makes you happy! It’s better to take your time rather then waste a bunch of money trying to figure out what you want to do in life. You spread a lot of joy and happiness to others every day and I’m super proud of you bro! Remember that all sunshine makes a desert 🌵 we have to have the bad days so the good days will feel that much better

    I'm 17, I graduated this year too. I struggled to connect with people a lot all through school because of my anxiety. I thought it'd be better for me if I graduated early since I had the credits, but it really just put me in the same situation as you a year and a half earlier. It sucks, but we'll get through it. I'm glad that you have James and supportive parents to help you through it.

    I’m 18 too and I totally had no idea what I was gonna do with my life, until I found a University which I loved! The thing is that it was the last school I ended up looking at! Sometimes things just fall into place if you wait for them. Everything will be ok in the future. This is just a little bump in the road! While you’re figuring this all out we’ll all be here supporting you! ❤️

    Hey Alex, I'm 17 and even i have graduated High school. I'm applying for colleges but I got rejected from my dream college. I have applied for other colleges but I'm not sure what will happen well that's not the point be Grateful that your parents are soo supportive of whatever decision u make, it make me very happy to see that. I want to apply for international colleges but my parents are not agreeing n it makes me soo frustrated. Even I'm soo confused and tensed. ♥️♥️

    Congratulations on your Graduation! I remember being 18 and feeling totally lost. I had no clue what to do with my life. I had to grow up a lot more and tried a lot of different things. I went to a local Junior College for a couple years but didn’t like what my parents made me study so I quit. I worked at convenience stores, I cooked at a local diner, cleaned houses, babysat my nieces, etc. When I was 24, I was finally ready to go back to school. I got my Bachelor or Science degree in Education but through circumstances at the time I ended up being a social worker and also teaching at a Psychiatric hospital for Children for many years and then working with the elderly and disabled population for the State of Oklahoma. That’s the cool thing about life, you just try your best, love and live in the moment, try to learn from your mistakes and you’ll be good. I’m sure that’s all your parents would want for you too. God bless you as you go through your journey! You’ve got this!

    Alex I was also in foster care and all that suff... I feel this so much. I went to college for Policing and graduated and now I'm doing security and thats not what I wanna do. Im back living in the place I was before college and honestly I'm gonna be 21 and still don't know what I wanna do to make life complete.... so don't worry about it. if your a good person and have a stable place to live then be happy but keep thinking of knew things to do. lives about learning. One day you'll feel like your life is complete but life never complete, there are always knew chapters in life and we keep taking them until the end. do lots of good, and you'll feel happy. good job on graduating. most importantly... Fallow your gut.

    I had a plan what I was gonna do with my life then 3 years later I changed it and did 3 more years of college! I’m so happy with what I’ve learned through that and so excited for where I’m going since I graduated college!

  • @MH-jg1wy
    @MH-jg1wy 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey there Alex! I am a mom of 4 sons. So, I kinda know what you are saying. Let me be the first to tell you, (Maybe I'm NOT the first to say this, but I'll say it anyway.) The fact that you graduated, moved, help your family out so much, plus do a TH-cam channel is waaay more than a lot of young adults your age do!! First, do not be so hard on yourself. Relax and take a deep breath. I applaud you for your graduation, your candidness and your honesty. Your attitude is so refreshing.
    Here is some perspective...
    My oldest son will be 20 in a few weeks. He should have graduated last school year, but he didn't have enough credits. He is smart, talented and a hard worker. But when he was a sophomore, he had some mental health issues and I pulled him out of school to go to a facility for about a month. It was the best thing for him and if he hadn't gone, he may not be here today as he was suicidal. No one knew he was having problems. Like I said, he was doing pretty great. He was in all city choir, had a lead part in 'Footloose the Musical', was the lead singer of his high school rock band and some other pretty cool stuff. But like a lot of young people your age, he had some pent up feelings he had to sort out. So, fast forward to today...my oldest son has not graduated yet. He is doing classes on line, playing in a band, and working at Dollar General. My second son graduated this year, and my oldest son was in the stands cheering for his brother! Did he feel bad his younger bro was graduating before him? Kinda. But he was so happy for his bro because his bro is special needs and he worked 10 times harder than his peers to get to graduate! It was joyful occasions and we celebrated as a family...the same way we support all of my sons with whatever they do. See, you don't HAVE TO have a plan and get a doctorate degree, join the military, or start a family. Don't feel like you need to go with the flow of others in order to feel adequate at this chapter of your life.
    Make a list of things you need to do and a list of the things you want to do. It really helps to get out of a rut and make some decisions. Life is about perspective. Ask people you trust and admire for advice and see what clicks to you. Then make a realistic plan. Get a job or take a year or two off of school. Don't rush into college classes if you aren't sure what you want to do yet. You'll use up all your financial aid on classes you aren't going to use and it will bring on new stress.
    I hope I didn't sound like a clanging gong or a nagging mom, but I wish someone would have taken the time to tell me these things.
    You are a great individual, a super brother and son the Aaron and Crystal. You have a good head on your shoulders and your attitude is amazing. You will accomplish so much, in good time. Enjoy life my friend! God bless you in all of you do.

    Hi Alex!
    I don’t like to comment videos but in this case I felt like I need to. You guys ( James and you) are killing it.
    I’m 25 and still struggling with what my path is trough life. Two years ago I went to medical school and the last year I figured that med school wasn’t for me. It was a hard time for me and I went through depression. Now I’m starting a new degree that I like a lot but still figure if it fits to me. You are young and it’s ok if you don’t know yet. Listen to yourself and your parents. Live the moment, have fun and keep going dude. 💪🏼

    Just a suggestion, look for a photography/videographer class. Since you want to be full time Utube stick with what inspires you. Even though you’ll probably be in front of the camera 📸 it will help you to understand the process. Lighting, angles, editing, etc.
    Do what you love and do it better than everyone else ‼️

    It’s ok to not be decided yet! You have a wonderful heart! Keep up I tube but consider technical school at the same time? Becoming a X-ray tech or lots of medical jobs or automotive careers gives you a backup plan! It will come together, just explore options. Most colleges have interest questionnaires to help you find what careers you would like the most.
