Answer this question first...when you get a honest answer from your heart, then try locating something similiar to the nature of your honest answer, that's how you find your life's goal.+ j/ m- b9 G) k2 k' B

5 |4 d  p$ C% a0 r/ i) wStudying is no fun when you hated it and see no point doing it....for short term solution (for the exam), promise yourself a reward when it's all over (like a PSP, new phone, etc.). Don't worry about whether you have $ to buy it or not....remember when you're down, imagine the reward at the end and this should motivate you to grind thru the sufferings.

I am not a particular smart and harding working person...but I got through two degrees with that attitude.

Cheer up...and be ruthless to yourself when studying for exams....the reward is there to wait for you.

O$ S" a% j3 JUnless you want to be a professional (like physician, lawyer, phram, etc.) the first degree doesn't make a difference in your job search....don't study any general degrees (like general Arts, Econ, commerce). Go for a more speicalized degree (like Finance) and you'll do better in the long run.4 l" K. {4 f. |+ M: Z# d) a( I6 F, R

If you have a good ESL counselor...go talk to him/her....

When you're done ESL...don't worry not attending U of Alberta or U of Calgary. I've known of people who took off to Red Deer, took some college courses, FIGURE OUT WHAT HE WANTED TO DO. When he was back in Edmonton, he attended U of A and had done better than folks went straigtht in., b, y& n4 Q; |4 O" K. Z; v

Not everyone can figure out what they want to do in their teens. For some people this is an event (a thunder bolt) and others a trail and error process (bankers who quit and become chef!). You have your way and I have mine. Just never give up searching!

1 D8 f9 u. r# Z0 h* aYou're in an advantage of studying in Calgary...distractions are few and yet good schools are plentiful. If you like business, I'll say go to the university bookstore....take a look at the first year textbooks, and see which one gives u the best impressions. You don't need to understand the contexts well, but at least get an idea of whether you like to dig yourself into it for the next few years. Talking to people (like all of us) for advice is good...but we are not you and can't make decisions for you ga ma.
