Hey SF!
Usually on the other side of these threads, but I'd like to share my 'Story' with everyone
I'm an Australian male and 20 years old, turning 21 in October.
Turning 21 in Australia, really should show that this is the point where you should have some direction in life.
Anyway, I'll show my points in how things have gone so far!
(For those who don't know Year 12 is final year in Australia, Victoria high schools)
2007: Decided to not finish year 12 and go into the Australian Army - Soon after I met a girl and the Army idea fell through. (I regret this now.)
2008: Worked at my local Woolworths (Supermarket) for the whole year. Really just a waste of a year. Thought I might want to become a baker, but after a week into my apprenticeship, I quit. Didn't like it to be honest.
2009: Still working at Woolworths. Went to England and Singapore for 3 months. Once I came back I thought I better get my crap together so I thought(because my brother is in the navy, why not?) I should head to the navy. I was in recruit school for a month and quit. To this day I don't know why I quit. It was mentally weird for me.
After a week, once I got home I was like wtf am I doing.
2010 - Still working at Supermarket. Decide at around September I would go into the Police Force in Victoria. Took a course on the exam to help my chances of preparation for the test. In November I took the test and failed by one mark in Spelling and Maths.
EDIT: I also went back and finished my year 12 schooling last year, which was weird as it was in my sisters year at school, 2 years younger than me. But I needed the pass to apply for the police force.
2011 - Been holding off my retesting for the exam. But, today I got an invite for a going away party from my mate Aaron, he applied AFTER I did and he is going in around late March.
This got me annoyed. What am I doing? Why do I keep ruining my chances!
So today, I booked my retest. Will be in a month or so, and if I fail, at least I had a crack. I can retest in 6months if I fail. But, that's not an option.

Cheers for reading
