The Ignorance of Youth
If I could repeat my high school career, I would. I made above average grades and had a healthy number of close friends, but I now realize how much more effort I could have put forth. Through my experiences in the work force, college, and graduate school, I have obtained the skills I would have needed to make exceptional grades and meaningful connections with important people; I probably would have spent no money on college, meaning I would have had much more money to invest in my career. Also, I now know not to make useless connections with friends who will only lead you down paths that go nowhere. High school students do not realize until long after high school is over that they chose friends for all the wrong reasons.
