I'm Conflicted. Life Path Stuff. Help?

Question

where to begin? I'm 15, and i'm stuck. next year, i'll be a sophomore in hs, but i'll be taking anatomy and physiology, algebra2 with trigonometry and advanced english 2. i haven't taken an IQ test before, but since first grade people have been telling me i'm brilliant. i'm scared. i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do. am i supposed to go to vet school in Madison WI like everyone, including myself, wants me too? or is there something else  out there? am i supposed to be something more? or, maybe not more, just different? as i sit here typing i'm afraid to go to school in September, and i don't use that word lightly. i hate this feeling. i've always been able to concur fear. always. i'd learn the facts, think through things. but the future... the future is illogical. i can't figure it out! somebody please tell me what i'm supposed to do! please don't mistake this for whining. i'm very grateful that i'm intelligent and have had the chance to nurture it, but i just don't know where to turn anymore. my parents are hopeless, neither of them understand. my father is a jerk accountant who, in my personal impression, is a self absorbed idiot, and my mother, though a certifiable genius (IQ test by real physiologist is 146)  didn't go to college until she was 46, she was too busy taking care of her five kids. they just don't get it! does someone else? please... i'll take anything at this point.

Calm down!  You are only 15.  In reality, you will not have to make up your mind about career choices until at least a couple years into college.  There are so many core classes you have to take to get to the good stuff that it is pretty much a time to figure out exactly what you like and don't like.  About the Vet school, how about volunteering at a local vet office and seeing if you actually do like it?  That should give you some direction about that question.  Just give them a call and tell them you are considering the career and they will be glad to have you there.

I think a feeling of uncertainty about the future is inveitable in everyone. Enjoy the present, don't worry about things you can't really control. All you can control are the choices you make that lead you on an desired path. Embrace your gift of intelligence. Take a deep breath and enjoy high school. Trust your instincts, and live your life the way you want it! Believe me, you'll get there... all will be fine in the end. You don't have to do anything right now, just enjoy life. :D

Don't worry, you're probably not a genius.
