Make the Most of High School (and have fun doing it!)
5 steps that pave the way to success
BY KATY MCGUIRE
You may not know it yet, but you're having the time of your life right now. I
know what you're thinking: "She's got to be kidding. She's talking about having
the time of my life in an article about school? Not a chance. She must be
crackers."
Alright, so not everyone in high school is having the time of his or her
life. As a matter of fact, the number of high schoolers who are having the time
of their lives is in the definite minority. However, that minority is made up of
people who are doing something right, and whose high school experiences will act
as doorways into worlds where they really will have the time of their lives. Not
to brag, but right now I feel that I'm part of that lucky minority. Interested
in joining me? Here's how…
My first piece of advice, and the key to everything else, is: believe in
yourself. It may sound cliché, but the funny thing about clichés is how they
got to be that way: they were so true that people overused them. If you have
enough determination to achieve your goals, there is nothing that can stand in
your way. Even if your confidence is low right now, smaller accomplishments can
be stepping-stones to larger ones as you begin to discover what you really can
do.
