I'm seventeen and I've lost faith in my dream. I have always loved film and always believed to have some sort of gift in what I love. I've always desired to become a film director, but see my dream drifting from me. My dad wants me to be a lawyer or politician because I'm good at public speeking, I'm good at debating and I have a love for english. I have found a good degree at UTS that combines the studies of law and media and believe this is my route. However, I lack comittment and believe that 95% UAI is a crazy figure to reach. I know I can get close but still have my doubts. The dilema that I'm facing is the fact that I'm too lazy, too optomistic in my approach to everything I do and "want to be famous". But the more I think about my situation, the more I feel discouraged, and therefore believe the dream of becoming a famous director is not what I want. Please help me.

You had better listen to dad. Being a filmmaker is very hard work. Wanting to be famous is not a goal, it is an hallucination. Wake up and get real!
