Highschool for me has not always been the easiest thing thing in the world for me. Freshman through junior year I did not take things seriously and my grades relfected that. Compared to now I didn't do any work and coasted along and didn't really care. But this changed when I transferred to the private school setting. I believe that the enviroment that you are in can alter your perception of everything. I believe that it is important to be surrounded by the right people and resources to help you achieve the highest result. I especially needed a place that would work with me much more closely than CHS ever did. The content of work here is harder but they make it easier to achieve satisfying results. My teachers at CHS were incapable of demonstrating an efficient and understanding form of learning and I struggled because of that.
Another example of this is being in the right friend environment. One of the most common mistakes teenagers make is picking and trusting the wrong people. Through experience (5 years of high school) I have come to realize that you can only trust a select few people. You cannot be best friends with everyone because that will only end up upsetting you. I believe that with picking the right people and friends that bring the best out of you will result in a happier time growing up. I have experienced picking the wrong group of friends and it was confusing and upsetting but it made me realize what a true friend really is. To conclude if you place yourself in the right environment to thrive work wise and surround yourself with the right people, then you can't lose.
