【題目】Things I Wish I’d Known in High School

Sometimes high school seems like a necessary evil. Now at the end of my college journey, I know that there are still more things I could have done to make my high school experience more beneficial.

【1】 Take a class that scares you during high school. The experience will definitely prepare you for future academic challenges.

Don’t worry about your grades too much. Getting a B is not the end of the world.【2】 I started college with all A’s since seventh grade, and it was hard to deal with not being able to repeat that. I stayed away from taking some harder courses I might have done well in because I was afraid of doing poorly. Now, I can fully accept that if I try my best in at least one harder class and get a B+, that is still something to be proud of.

Find your own de-stressing routine. Another essential skill to begin building in high school is how to manage work and stress. Maybe you deal with stress by going for a run, or watching a silly movie. Talk with a friend for a while or play with your dog.【3】

Spend your summers wisely. Don't take on a full-time job the first summer you decide to work.【4】 Do find something to do that will make the ten weeks worthwhile. Look for programs that take you to interesting places, or a job that will give you insight into something you might be interested in.

Finally, remember to have fun. Your life does not depend on high school.【5】 You will have plenty of time to work hard in college and beyond. Be prepared, but don’t stress out too much about it. If you can make your high school experience fun, you will have no problem doing the same for your life in college and beyond.

A. In fact, it’s kind of a good thing.

B. Take full advantage of your brain.
