dear CH, well this is a post that is wanting us to give you ideas, no worries, but isn't this the same as what your teachers are giving you, just food for thought.
It's good that you have posted this comment as it's something new for you and a challenge that you haven't done before, just as life is, our future is also a challenge, and what is going to be curious is how many new ventures will you try and concur, bearing in mind that some won't succeed, while others will.
During your life there will be many people who will tell you not to this or that, and some will have wise suggestions or advice, while others will tell you on what their own values are, just like an auntie with all the red lipstick caked on her lips saying to you that you should become a doctor or dentist which is nothing like what you ever want to do.
From your post it sounds as though you're not enjoying school, simply because you don't have any foresight as to what you want to do in the future, given the fact that your marks are appropriate.
We have teachers to teach us that 2 + 2 = 4, because if we aren't taught this then our future is going to be difficult out there in the real world, and then we have our peers who always want to do something which is beyond your capability, so what there are other areas in life that you will benefit more in, and 10 to 1 on this peer is not going to be admitted into this degree anyway.
Although it might not seem to be the case but your post is half answering it, because you aren't being stagnant in your thinking, you are questioning what you are doing and what you may do in the future, and by the way I really like Tony's reply to you.
Would love to get a reply back from you. Geoff.
