Stay Rad.

I know I was a bit ambiguous the other day when I was pleading with you to not be one of those people that peak early. What I mean by that is the type of person who spends all of their time in high school focusing on being popular; who spend so much time on the social aspects of school that they don't spend any time developing intellectually. They develop social skills, which are quite important, but don't spend any time working on making themselves better, more well rounded, human beings. They lack the ability to become well rounded adults and end up still living at home at the age of 25 working as a Bikini Barista. Or worse...living in a trailer park and working at a fast food restaurant.

High school could be a time before adulthood and maybe collage to learn valuable life skills, not too many though you do want to enjoy your youth and the freedom from real responsibilities as long as possible. To do things like learn a new language, which is a phenomenal exercise in becoming a better human and giving your still developing brain a hefty workout. I heard you are taking German, I'll enjoy practicing my rusty German with you, just as long as you don't tell me I am nict sehr hässlich. At least have the courtesy to tell me I am schön, which is not Kristin's preferred way to describe me in Deutch. 

What I'm saying kiddo, is continue to develop your personality. Don't be a mean, surly teenager just because you can. Make a conscious effort to develop your mind and personality, stay rad.
