I'm never motivated to do my sport, and I feel dread for trainings. Should I quit?
I've been swimming since I was 6 or 7, and I'm only a little bit better than others my age. I never feel motivated to train, and I constantly miss practice. I only swim the events I know I can do in meets, and I improve very slowly. I don't get much sleep, and I get slightly above average grades. Does anyone have advice on motivation and/or when I should quit?

After going to different fairs and talking to different people in different job fields, I learned one thing, I should get an internship in the fields I would pursue. I do not know how much it would help me, I do want to have some experience in any field I choose before I fully follow one. Also a follow up question, where would I find an internship in Video Game Design?

Question for Artists: How much time did it take you to learn art before creating your first portfolio for Art/Character Design/Visual Development?
I mean, I want to understand this because sometimes it feels like my learning process is taking forever. Other times, I feel like I need to learn a few more skills before creating or showcasing a portfolio. I'm a bit confused right now, and I would be really grateful for any advice you could share.
How can I find a career path that aligns with my interests and values within its studies and work environment that I could turn into a passionate life career?
I have been searching for a career that I can connect with, and that suits me as a person. It has not been easy because I don't know what it is like to be in these specific careers, and fully committing to an idea that I have for a job does not sit well with me, so I need help finding that career/subject that I love. And it is especially hard when I don't know who I am. I feel like I have no true passions right now, making it hard to find what truly suits me. However, I know that I am a creative person with a strong desire to make a difference in the world through some type of scientific invention, although I would not limit myself to a scientific career. I wouldn't say I like super strict and stressful environments, and I love being able to pursue my own ideas; I enjoy interacting and socializing (but not for too long), I like making things, and one day, I would like to be my own boss. I would appreciate any type of help!

How do you balance chasing a career and building a dream without giving up on either?
“Hi everyone, I’m at a bit of a crossroads in my life and would really appreciate some guidance. I have a bachelor’s degree in Food Science and Technology, graduated with honors and currently work as a medical assistant. While in college, I discovered a hidden passion—fashion design. It started as a hobby but quickly turned into something I truly love. I started a fashion brand(Awulak), creating customized outfits for people with no tutor and completely developing my skills from just Youtube, and it’s been one of the most fulfilling parts of my journey. Now, I find myself torn between two dreams. On one hand, I want to pursue a career in dietetics, which feels like a natural path considering my degree. On the other hand, I dream of growing my fashion brand into something bigger, something that tells stories and touches lives. If anyone has ever been in a place like this—where your heart is divided between a career and a business—how did you navigate it? How did you decide what to focus on without feeling like you were giving up on something you love? I would deeply appreciate your thoughts. Thank you for listening.
A struggling 16 yr old!(pre-med,MBA,Business, fashion)
Hi, I’m currently a 16 year old who recently got homeschooled and in my junior year of high school. I’m on a journey on rediscovering myself of what I’m capable of doing( I’m trying to learn what I’m good at and I’m not and who I am). I used to run my own candy business and it was fun interacting with people and getting their feedback on my candy so it got me thinking for quite some time that I love knowing what I do makes people happy and makes their day a bit better with a snack so I was wondering if something in the medical field or maybe fashion because I like the way fashion is and the way it hold confidence over me maybe can be an option because I don’t want to work where I will be behind a computer while working a 9-5 job. I like helping people, marketing objects, social media, being my own boss, making discoveries. Things to know about me: -I get bored to easily if it’s a repeating cycle of the same day -I like to travel -my family plays a big role - I like to challenge myself - I have an ENTP personality -I want to make an impact on people’s life's - I want to make my make name known in the world and leave history behind
