Looking back during my high school years...
If I had an opportunity to go back and change anything I did in high school I would've put in a greater effort. In high school according to the numbers I was a "scholar", but it wasn't as if I was putting in hours of studying or preparation, especially senior year. That was the year in my opinion I made my greatest mistakes as far as academics are concerned. I was taking a calculus class and because I didn't need it to graduate I simply did not care, I wish I didn't have this mindset because the same concepts I was learning in that high school class I revisited in college calculus and had to play catch up.

Moreover, I wish I didn't wait until Senior year to get involved. Senior year I became Student Government President , was a chair on the National Honor Society and was apart of the yearbook committee. The fact that I did not take part in any other extracurricular activities prior to this made it difficult for me to balance them and keep my grades up. In essence, I just wished I seized all the opportunities I had in front of me. Now I just urge students to make the best out of their high school careers because once those years are gone, it's no rewinding the hands of time.
