I found something that might interest you. It is digital art combined with photographs and patterns. It is by a company called Segmation. I am told that it is definately interesting and is for all ages. Check it out and I hope I have helped you out. Also, since you currently have a lack of money, this is not expensive.

You sound more than "feeling depressed" – you have the classic signs of BEING depressed. Lack of motivation, failing grades, feeling useless and helpless. Try seeing someone for a prescription anti depressant and you will be surprised how much better you will feel soon.
Also- life is hard when you don’t have someone to pay your way thru school and support your activities/interests but at least you are TRYING and that means something. At 21 you ARE a grown up and you must take on a grown ups responsibilities. Things will get better and I foresee a future where you are a GREAT teacher who does armature photography that is AWESOME.

By the way (and I am sure i will get many thumbs down for this one): when and if you decide to have children remember the experiences you are having from being "home schooled". Even though you may be a teacher let your children experience the social life and opportunities that public schools offer. Some schools may not be the greatest ones to attend but kids need to be with peers and have the choice of being involved in sports and other school activities. I am not against home schooling but most kids in that situation do not get the "outside life experiences" that are so vital to living today.
Good luck

I want to do so many things, but lack the determination, drive, and money to actually pursue them?
I’m 21 years old, and a student at my local community college. I was homeschooled until about 7th grade. I never did many of the things that people learn to do or do as children, such as play a sport, join girl scouts, or even learn to ride a bike. I feel like I am not really very good at anything, I have a few things that interest me, such as digital photography, working with kids(I want to be a preschool teacher), and art. I have no shortage of things that I know I would like to be good at, but I feel like I lack the motivation to actually do them and stick with them. I am also limited to things in my area because I do not have a car, and can’t afford one. As an example, I would love to become better at archery, but the closest shooting range nearby is about an hour’s drive away. I feel like I am also limited by money. I own a digital slr camera, and love photography. Oftentimes, I will visualize the awesome photograph a scene would make, but I can’t achieve these awesome things because I don’t have a very good lens or a tripod, and I can’t afford to buy new ones, and I usually just end up getting discouraged by the fact that I lack the equipment to produce the results I can envision in my head. I usually just blame it on "well I never learned to do that when everybody else did". My boyfriend always tells me that I can still learn to do all of those things, but it just seems so difficult now. When you’re a kid, you can join all the clubs and groups you want, and learn different skills. You have no outside responsibilities, and you don’t have to pay for anything. But now, I have to work, and go to school and have a lot more "grown up" responsibilities. I can’t just decide I want to do something, oftentimes classes now cost money, and time, and a lot more dedication than I ever find myself putting in.

I also just have terrible, terrible habit of procrastinating, especially when it comes to college. I am currently working towards my associates degree in Early Childhood Education, and earning a Childcare Certificate. These are both things that I want to do very very much, but I can just never seem to actually put in the work required to do well in my classes. I procrastinate doing my homework until the very last minute, and either I do the work, but I am disappointed in myself because it’s rushed and I know I could have done better, or I don’t do the work, and then I get anxious about showing up to class without the required homework, so I just skip class. This pattern has resulted in me failing several classes, mostly due to excessive absences because of not having my work completed. I don’t know why I am not motivated to do the work for these classes when I know that I need to in order to get my degree and do what I love in the future.

I don’t feel like I am particularly good at anything, I don’t really have any hobbies or passions that I can do anything with, and even when I am truly interested in something, I can never generate enough motivation and determination to actually DO it.

I’m sorry for the rant, and I’m not sure if it made much sense, I just needed to say all that, because I’ve been feeling depressed lately and I don’t know what to do about it, and I just wanted some outside opinions. Thanks in advance.
Also, my community college does not have any clubs, groups, or sports, so unfortunately I don’t have the option of getting involved in different activities at school. My college is just classes.

@bigsis: I do not plan on homeschooling my children, mainly because I don’t want them to miss out on opportunities like I did, and oftentimes wonder how good a teacher I will be if I’ve never even experienced going to a preschool or elementary school.

Digital photography prints?
What do I need to do to get my prints printed? I am going to go to Wal-Mart and do not know what to bring with me. Do I bring my camera? Or attach the photos to my e-mail? Help!
My camera takes pictures in 640×480 and I need the pictures to be 8×10. Is this going to be a problem?
