RE: Programming hard to stick with #6
I've been in your position. Take my advice:

Don't wait until college, thinking that it will motivate you; it won't. In a CS major, the students that are really worth their salt will have already begun learning beforehand. Be that student. I wasn't and ended up dropping out after the first semester because of it (plus it was too expensive).
Also, if you wait until college to really get into it, you may end up hating it and switching majors, which wastes time and money. Best to figure out if you like it beforehand.

I don't know what this site's thoughts toward reddit are, but the FAQ on the /r/learnprogramming subreddit is a fantastic place to start to figure out what you want to do/what language to start with. It helped me to decide on web development, which I'm now working on self-teaching myself until I can save up enough money to go back to school.

I've only just recently gotten over the hump of "this is boring, I'm going to play video games instead" to "hey, this is actually pretty interesting" just recently. It takes time, but if you really do think you want to learn programming, then you'll eventually get into it.
