I admit it. I screwed up the last few years of high school. Not because I was lazy, but because of other reasons that were out of my control. Now that I’m a senior, I realized that those years I messed up matter. Everything matters. Those years shape what kind of person you become, and what your future will look like. Listen to what I’m saying now. Whatever problems you have, don’t let them get to you. It might be hard, no scratch that. It will be hard, but you can’t let those problems get the best of you. Your parents didn’t raise you to become a failure. They want what’s best for you. Just think about it….. What do yo want to do for the rest of your life? Plan ahead and everything will be 10x easier. Trust me.
