As you approach your studies and extracurricular activities during your high school years, think about how the following can apply to you. My hope is that you will be better situated to identify and master your PASSION.
So what exactly do I mean when I say, “Identify your PASSION”?
Persevere. Be willing to stick to something and make it work. No one said it would be easy.
Apply yourself. If you are not willing to give a 100% effort, do not waste anyone’s time.
Sincerity. Be honest and be yourself (especially when you are writing your essay).
Shine. As Nelson Mandela said in his inauguration speech and Marianne Williamson wrote, “Have the courage to shine.” Take a chance on fulfilling your dreams and tune out the haters.
Instincts. Listen to your instincts and your gut. You will know where you want to attend college.
Organize your materials needed for admission, so you meet every application deadline.
Now. Do something sooner rather than later to prepare yourself for college and the admissions process. If you don’t know what that is, ASK SOMEONE (that counts as a step), then take action.
