What is something you would tell your younger self in high school?

High School can be a memorable and formative experience - you get to start deciding who you wish to become! It can offer an opportunity to better understand ourselves, through the courses we choose, the friends we make, and the extracurriculars we are part of, among many others. Try not to be afraid to ask for help when you need it - Enjoy the path you pave for yourself!
