I'm 19 now.That's not a very long time,but I feel that I always can't do what I want to.Maybe I'm not brave enough.While,circumstance,I think that's the essential problem to stop me doing my favourite.What about your life?Are you happy ?Do you have enough confidence to meet everyday's life?

Sunnyone, at 27 I can tell you that it's all how you take it. At 19 I thought I knew everything and that I was headed in the right direction; even though I had no idea where I was going. Now, looking back on 19 at 27, I can honestly say I knew nothing. And I know alot. But at 37, I'll most likely say I knew nothing at 27. The only thing that secures your freedom is knowledge. It's a cliche to say that knowledge is power but it really is. Through knowledge the capacity is limitless. I did well in community college and got a scholarship to university. I did well at university and got a scholarship to grad school. There are limitless opportunites that are given to those who do well in academics and I found that during my collegiate career, the people that I met have had a profound impact on the individual that I am now. I was a shy and timid kid before I showed up on the first day of college and during the course of the years that past I grew into the person I am today. To answer your question I say: try everything you can twice because that first time may not be the best, be open minded because that is how you grow as a citizen not only of the United States but of the world, and lastly be yourself. Life is a movie based on your story, you are the star. Do what makes you happy and what makes the lives of the people around you happy. The confidence is something that inevitalbly comes with time. Just give it time.

Hi there Sunnyone!
You are still very young so maybe you are not prepared to take risks yet. I think it will come in time. Maybe your freedom and capabilities are still limited as of this time.
I am 25 and I am happy with the way that my life is going.
