Many students are simply not built to succeed in high school. (they lack a strong rote memory, they don't like conforming, and/or they aren't strong test takers) Here are some tips for 'hacking' your way through HS when HS is not your thing:

  1. Learn how to form long lasting relationships. -listen -do not participate in dragging others down -be positive, people like positivity in the long run
  2. Be a good teammate and/or group member. -give credit, don't claim credit -learn how to be a champion for the strengths/talents of others -observe...you can learn from good role models and from bad ones
  3. Focus on skills instead of content and try as many things as possible. -pictures, video, speaking, audio, art, writing -take welding, vehicle maintenance, and woodworking...trust me
  4. Learn what you like and what you're good at.
  5. Showcase your skills. -use social media to build a portfolio of positivity and value
