What makes you live life the way you do? What motivates you to make the sacrifices you make? Most of all what drives you to take the risks you take? Is there a sole purpose for all the decisions we make in life?
Only in high school, we're already given the burdening responsibility of determining the path of our entire life. At such a young age, our minds are a tangled web of questions, possible answers, and opinions, not fully matured. Yet, we're still expected to make the choice, the choice of what to do with our lives. There's no arguing with why we're given this responsibility, I guess I'll have to settle with: that's just the way our society functions today. But there's always the question of why we make certain decisions. Why do we strive so hard in certain areas and give up so easily in others? Why is it that it's so easy to make the wrong the choice, yet so difficult to come up with the right one? Is there even a right or wrong choice? For an inquisitive mind, the questions are eternal and the answers, cryptic. It's always nice to find one answer to satisfy the mind's endless queries.
Even though it's not possible to find a sole solution, is it possible to find a single purpose? I believe that if we truly think about it and search the depths of our heart, we'll find a purpose. I find my purpose in life to gain and share what I gain. Not only gaining materialistically but to gain any good in life. Whether it's gaining knowledge, personality, respect, trust, hope, love, happiness, even criticism, I find that's what sustains me. There are many answers that can never be found in life, but just knowing the fact that I'm gaining something good, keeps me moving. The fact that I can share what I gain is even better and what keeps me wanting to keep on moving.
And that's my purpose in life, the sole reason that drives my judgement and causes me to make the decisions I do. I just wanted to share some food for thought with you all and unburden myself from the few of the many questions that cloud my mind.

Very thoughtful post. Keep on gaining. But remember, sacrifice can be as noble, if not nobler. Many of the greatest gave until they had hardly anything left for themselves; we remember them for the price they paid to gain something for others.
