<p>"What ever happened to enjoying the high school years? It seems that teenageers are so concerned with college applications and exceling in EVERYTHING that they do that it consumes their life. Some things can not be learned in a textbook and can only be aquired through social interaction with people. Enjoy what you do and sucess is just an added bonus. Remember that it is okay to be mediocre at some things and experiencing failure is inevitable -- it will remind you to stay humble. Try to be well rounded in all aspects of your life."</p>
