High School

High school is really good for some people, and for others it isn’t. I myself have had it both ways, for the most part it’s been good, but I’ve gone through plenty of rough spots during these four years. I was at a really small school most of my high school years, so I didn’t ever have to try to “fit in”. But last year I went to a bigger school where I would have to have made an effort to fit in, so I really didn’t. I could have talked like most of the other people, cursed, partied, and treated kids differently because they weren’t like me, but I didn’t, so I didn’t “fit in”. That being said, don’t worry about what everyone else thinks of you. As long as what you are doing is pleasing to God, who cares if no one else agrees with you. Their opinion doesn’t matter, God’s does. I spent way too much time worrying about what people thought about me instead of finding out what they thought about me for myself. Take it from me, worrying gets you nowhere, and I have lost great opportunities because I was too scared to try. I should have been relying on God instead, and trusting in his will. And one more thing, keep up your grades. Some of you might have heard that colleges only look at your senior year’s grades, but that’s not true. Most colleges look at your grades from 9^th to 12^th grade. So study and try hard the whole time, and don’t slack off at the end, because it’s really easy to do. Especially the last couple of years.
