<p>First of all, understand that you don’t have to be a household name to change the world in a significant, positive way. I am always surprised when I hear people talk about something that inspired them to change their lives–an act of kindness from a stranger, a “It Gets Better” video, someone to talk to when they’re feeling down.</p>
<p>Second, I don’t think it’s a bad thing to want to change the world in a bigger way than “being a good person who provides for their family”. Not that it’s a bad thing to be that either, but if you want to do more than that, go for it! Again, this does not mean you have to study something you don’t really like, like engineering, or be a household name. I recommend looking at non-profit groups; some of them help people in the US, some of them help people abroad. There are tons of them, with many different positions available in them. Study what you’re interested in and I’m sure you can find a non-profit to work for, though their work is not always easy. Or if you don’t want to do that, get a “regular” 9-to-5 job and volunteer at something in your spare time.</p>
<p>Third, you obviously enjoy playing with language, so why not develop and explore that? Your writing style is rather overblown right now, but that is simply because of your age and lack of experience in writing. If you work hard and take constructive criticism to heart, you can turn your current, rather tortured metaphors into a really interesting, unique style. If you decide to go this route, the best advice I can give you is READ, READ, READ and WRITE, WRITE, WRITE. You cannot become a good writer without writing a lot of drek first.</p>
