'Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.' Romans 12;2
There will only be one you in this world so be true to yourself. It is easy to follow the crowd but it takes true convictions to stand alone. I think it's a common misconception that everyone should go to college. That's just not true and you're not a failure if life leads you in a different direction. I do think your skill or trade should be built upon to better yourself in life. We need all kinds of people and occupations to run this world.
Aren't you glad we are all different? What if we were all robots, like your worst nightmare? Our differences make us special and beautiful. I think you stand out best when others see the attention you give to God in your life, rather than when you draw attention to yourself.
