Family and Money
Talked to my mom earlier. They cut her hours of teaching in half, so she's taking in less money. My brother got a D in Chemistry. (lol, I failed chemistry a lot so, I saw that coming). I'm trying to motivate. I know he won't go to a university right after high school. He doesn't have the drive. SO, I proposed to take him when he finished high school (to wherever I am), and he can do classes online. My mom wants to enroll him in a physical therapy program, but I guess a break with me would be good too. ;P. Honestly, I just want him to learn another language. I don't care about him having a degree. If u have another language, fluently.. on top of pursuing an education, more of the world opens up.
Maybe we can combine my mom and I's hopes for him. He can take a "break" and be abroad with me and take online classes for a semester. Then he can go do that physical therapy program and work. He can work while going to chool and probably get into the JET program or something in Japan so he can learn Japanese. I just want him to feel motivated to continue school. And being trapped by family with no fun isn't exactly motivating. Maybe he can have a taste of being abroad.
Anyway, back to my mom. She's stressed with work (more than usual) and she's making less money and the house payments are getting to her. But there's no other house for her sister and other family members to go, so they're at her place.
I'm telling her to start a business. Like how she did wedding decorations on the side. But she doesn't want to cuz she likes everything perfect her way, and I don't think there's anyway she wants to train people LOL. She isn't giving up on pizza! She wants a brand name!
Actually, there's a kinda cheap pizza chain in Korea called Pizza School! It's pretty different. I'm thinking it could expand into the states cuz it's kinda cheap like Little Caesar's. It think it would be a perfect franchise to bring over in the future.
I'll show you guys some pictures of Pizza School in the future. But pizzas are like $5~12 bucks. (12 is the most expensive). :]. Maybe I can bring a little Korea to the states <3.

so Julius doesnt know what he wants to be or do?
@flossblindsme - wants to go to japan or something iono lawlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.
lol you guys can't put expectations on him like that..
he might not want to learn a language, do online schooling, or do what your mom wants him to do. He needs to figure out what he wants to do himself, I don't think it's fair to him to push him towards a certain direction. i know you're trying to find some kind of motivation or direction for him but what if he does it just b/c he doesn't know what to do and hates it the whole way and never finds his true niche? he needs to make mistakes and learn on his own to figure out what he wants. it will end up being a waste of time if he does what you guys want (since its so specific:P).
@ConKhii - as long as he does something, but im still stealing him away for a little after he finishes high school.
andd, i just want him to know another language. if i had a kid, it would be one of the things i exct from them. one language, one sport, and one instrument. so that they have different social circles and different outlets of expression, and can get jobs anywhere. (even part time).
i met a guy who was part eastern european and he hated that he was put to school to learn his family's language. but he's greatful now cuz he can communicate in it, read the literature and even can work in that county, if he wants.
