I am afraid that one day I will wake up and find out that all of the promise that my peers show has somehow been completely wasted, and that the world will be no better off than it is now.

i hope this never comes true
I fear this too, OP. I hope dearly that it never comes to pass.
Me, too, OP. Me, too.
I think I've already wasted my promise.
This is what environmental sci. is for though, right? why they make it AP so that Enloe's brightest will have to take it unless they want to screw up their GPA with Rocks for Jocks? So that we'll wake up and realize that we are the people who have to make the changes? That we can't sit back and pass on the problem?
And for those of you not at Enloe, take Environmental Science if it's offered at your school. It's a doom & gloom class, not the sort of thing to brighten your day, but it certainly is a way to find something to devote your life to if you're looking for a worthwhile cause.
I'd hate to change the world such that it would be so much of a better place in our lifetime.
I resent "rocks for jocks". I am a jock , and i will note that the majority of jocks make much better grades than the majority of whoever else.
On a less inflammatory note, I wonder about this as well. But I always come to the question, how do we measure what we've done? Sure you can go fight for environmental change, but are you accomplishing something if you don't raise a family, and end up dying angry and alone? I don't think anyone can "fail" life. Each person will find his or her own niche. I'll quote the movie Ray in summation "It's gonna do what it do baby"
^I have this weird ambivalence about people who devote their lives to obscure but worthwhile causes (Tutoring south african children, diabling landmines in Uganda, etc). On one hand it's admirable that they're giving up so much of themselves to a cause that they see as important, but your other half is screaming "What the hell? Why are you wasting your life?!"
