Some of these choices could greatly affect your life. Try your best to study hard. It doesn’t matter whether you will go to a university or college. It doesn’t matter whether you will go to a vocational school or start work. You have to work hard. It doesn’t matter what dreams you have for your future. Dreams will not make themselves come true. You need to try your best and prepare.
... your life, so try your best to study hard.

Once you have a dream, just go for it, never give it up easily; your dream might not come true in one day or two, but it will someday.
