@kylek717 Happy Birthday! From what you write in your post, it looks like you are already giving yourself the best gift possible: an early start into the areas that you want to excel at. It is wonderful to see that at such young age you have so much drive, motivation and a clear vision of what you want to achieve, so kudos on that!

What motivates me these days... I wish I could say something admirable and selfless like I want to dedicate my life to help other people, but being completely honest with myself, that's not it. I always help whenever I can, but that is not my calling. I think my motivation comes from recognizing the miracle of existing, of having had the opportunity to live this life in this planet. I want to make the most out of it, for however long it lasts; I am curious to see how far I can develop myself as a person, how much I can grow, how much I can experience, how strong I can possibly get. Just the miracle of life itself, that's my motivation.

However, my vision is not completely selfish: I believe that everyone has the right to do the same so we should cooperate and help each other to make our lives the best possible, to make our living experience a satisfying one. We are all connected, after all.
