<p>What Light Yagami does in Death Note.
... and I want to make my mom happy.</p>
<p>^you want to kill innocent people? that's nice.</p>
<p>LOL. How are criminals innocent?
But nah, that's not what I meant. I want to change the world in a drastic way, but not necessarily through killing.</p>
<p>Oh man, I've never wanted to tell people that, but the reason why I feel like I must go to a super amazing prestigious school is because I'd love to meet the girl of my dreams and fall completely in love with her. I don't think I could find her in high school, not a chance. I'd just love to meet the girl of my dreams and get a good job and all.</p>
<p>^ Poor you. The girl of my dreams is Yuna from FFX. I meet her everyday, lol.</p>
<p>^obstinate, that's what i feel as well..also yuna from FFX is hot..i've played 300+ hours on that game, but stopped a few years ago...was trying to get everyone to level 99 i think.</p>
<p>God wouldn't it suck if you got into a "super amazing" school, but the girl of your dreams ended up at a state school because she valued saving her parents' money over prestige?</p>
<p>what motivates me? the future. knowing i'll probably be better, smarter, more successful, and happier than many of the ******bags at my school.</p>
<p>-- what motivates me? the future. knowing i'll probably be better, smarter, more successful, and happier than many of the ******bags at my school. --</p>
<p>I feel sorry for you if you honestly view your peers in that way.</p>
<p>yes, i do, and i admit it. not all of them, obviously, but i'd be willing to go as high as 40% of my school.</p>
<p>EDIT: ehh, that was a little harsh. as high as 20%*</p>
<p>Poseur, then how would I know she was my dream girl? She couldn't be if I'd never be able to meet her :)</p>
<p>How do you know you'll be happier? Successful, maybe, as in making more money. Not necessarily better/smarter/happier.</p>
<p>^ hence the "probably." everyone, don't take what i said /too/ seriously. it's just my motivation. plus it's all subjective to my moods. (i'm obviously bitter right now)</p>

<p>No human life is a waste. You should be trying to help your peers overcome difficulties instead of separating yourself from them.</p>
<p>If I like a certain subject/hobby, then my motivation for those is the happiness I get when I'm involved in those activities.</p>
<p>If not...usually it's my reluctance to turn out mediocre work that motivates me.</p>
<p>The possibility that my day could randomly be awesome.</p>
<p>And the boy I like--yes, teenage girls are so superficial.</p>
<p>And food. I always wake up hungry, haha.</p>
<p>I can't think of a reason why I do anything. I just do. Despite attending a Montessori school, I've ended up believing that only an A is good. Besides that, in most classes, A's are easy.</p>
<p>The great things I can bring to humanity.</p>
<p>That when I send my college application forms next year, I'll get into even the best schools I apply to.</p>
<p>At least, in regards to schoolwork and community service... :-/</p>
<p>One of the things that motivate me to do well in high school is the knowledge that I have a chance of getting into a top university after I graduate.</p>
