If you don't try, you are guaranteed not to get whatever you're striving for, so you may at least just go for it because at least then you give yourself a chance! I often felt suffocated in high school, like I was trapped in a box and not able to choose my own independent path. But that will soon change! Trust me when I say you are greater than you know and stronger than you think. You are all wonderful, capable human beings that can make a real difference in the world, in whatever way you'd like to. I wish you all the very, very best. Thank you for coming along this journey with me!
