I feel like there's a lot of different options for paths you can take in your schooling and you can get college classes down early.

When I first started High school I did not have any interest in school. I never wanted to do my work or challenge myself with harder classes. Same thing during my sophomore and junior year of school. Now that I am a senior I have learned to love school. I look forward to going everyday.
