     I decided to join a political cause, help adults finish their GED to work towards a better life, build homes for Habitat for Humanity, and help immigrants and refugees learn how to speak the English language as well as  how to use modern computer programs, as well as work serving food in homeless shelters. I figured that if I couldn’t finish my education, I would at least find value in helping people finish theirs.

    Lucas – Do you get happiness in what you do? If yes then continue to do it. If not then there are a ton of other options you can look into to. I am not sure where you reside but there are so many classes to learn knew skills.

    Parents will always question you (hoping there was no abuse at home) that is how parenting works. Probably they are concerned about your well being.

    When I was younger, I was often bullied and even beaten by my peers. 

    Asshole like your peers have existed from the dawn of time. The thing about these pricks are that they pick on others to make themselves feel important and good. I believe in Karma and Karma has no set Menu and it never forgets an address.

    Never ever give up on your self, knock on doors if you need help finding your passion. You will be surprised how many people will be ready to help you. Get out and make friends and start seeking coz you will find it some day.

    Never complain living is a lesson and some lessons are worth enduring.

    Thank you for your reply. It’s not that I don’t take joy in what I do: I just feel that my actions are entirely meaningless, and more than anything, I want to create a legacy for myself.  I am considering joining the AmeriCorps to develop an outreach program for illiteracy in Colorado, but it seems that my parents and friends believe that I am wasting my time.

    They continually question why I would do something like this when a lot of people have already started their careers.

    Lucas If you  are waiting for approval and acceptance you will be waiting for a long time learn that the hard way.

    They continually question why I would do something like this when a lot of people have already started their careers.

    What has other people career got to do with you and your choice?  Think about it you want to leave your mark behind even with a disability many people have all working limbs and organs and have no ambition in life. If I were you I would write down what I want to achieve and how I plan on doing it. I have noticed that sometimes writing down things helps it lets you think about your options.

    Dear Lucas:

    I would like to understand better, so I ask:

    You wrote that you want to create a legacy for yourself. What do you mean by “legacy”?
