I agree with Jonah & Karli. If you are passionate about studying & teaching English, you will make sure you get through the requirements - will power is a tremendous thing & passion just ignites all the energy within ! Your sister may be right in a very practical, factual sense. Consider her advice soberly. Also consider how much you Really like & enjoy English and Why. If the latter is stronger than the former, then instead of using up your energies to become confused & overwhelmed, just go for it with confidence & resolve. However, if you are finding some classes difficult, or are lagging behind, then find Resources & People who can help you Bridge the gap. Make that Extra Effort. You Know it'll be worth it to have your dreams fulfilled. Remember, every person is different. As a teacher I came across students who stood first in class throughout their school years; but most were not Really the Intelligent kinds - they just diligently crammed their texts. There was no Spontaneity, no Originality. In fact a few students who truly were brilliant, had sharp minds, could think on their feet, debate on the spur of the moment, ... didn't bother to get good grades [Or the exam system was such that it didn't spark their interest]. Who's to say your sister isn't the first kind & you may belong to the second category. You may have the creativity, spontaneity & freshness that other students in your class may not have. You may cultivate a Different perspective, a different style.... Be Unique ! Or at least work hard at building up your uniqueness & finding your inner strengths & realizing your potentials. Don't compare yourself with your other friends or sisters. Every individual has the capacity to turn her life into a path she thinks is best for her. You have started early ; you have your sister's guidance [don't focus on the negatives; if possible, seek her help in improving your chances] ; you know where you lag ; you know what work needs to be done ; read some extra books, do some extra study/research, put in as many Productive hours as you possibly can ; so like you say yourself "... before I even have reason to..." Wishing you all the very best always :-) Add : Check out Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford University Commencement Speech.

I did for a while.
Clinical depression made life unbearable.
Antidepressants and a lot of counseling have helped me see that the forest is made of a lot of trees.
All I have to do to clear that forest is to cut one tree at a time.

Not by life but by what life throws at me.

lately, often. I left my good paying job to go to school full time, so for the first time money is very tight
