Learn for Growth
As a high school student, you must find a few things that make you motivated everyday. These academics/activities do not have to be lifelong passions, but you should have something that motivates you. Exploring areas of study and extracurricular activities that you find interest in can push you closer to your passions. A common misconception might lead you to believe that colleges and universities, even future employers, find a wide array of activities most impressive. In fact, leaders are actually often impressed by individuals who find their few passions and pursue them whole-heartedly. Remember, you are only human. Take time to explore the world and all possibilities of study while in high school–and then really dive into the subjects and activities you love the most. Devotion is more impactful than wide variety. Furthermore, the more fun you have while learning in high school, the more fun you will learn to have throughout your life, since life is a constant journey filled with new discoveries and lessons. If you can master the art of enjoying school now, imagine how much more fulfilling your entire high school and college experience will be later.
