In high school you can’t be free. You can’t do whatever you want. You can’t ignore other people’s wishes completely, specifically your parent’s wishes. Your parents aren’t ready for that. What would they do if suddenly you didn’t need their input? If you were totally independent? If you became a self-sustaining being where would their brainwaves have to redirect? These are questions better left unanswered.

A really important thing in high school is staying fit. It didn't come to my personal realization until junior year. Exercising, eating right, and most definitely sleeping right, is important.

Car crashes are the leading cause of death for 15- to-20 year-olds in the United States. There are also more driving-related deaths in the summer months than any other season of the year. So while driving this summer it is important to remember the safe driving tips that most teenagers seem to ignore. No one is above safety and certainly no one is above death.
As a student, we've been taught to turn in our work, do what the teacher says, and that's it. For AP, those rules still apply, however, it's more than just that.
