I wish I could have told myself this years ago, or even a few months ago. I was always an extroverted kid and I always was trying to go out and hang out with friends, and I even put that before training on my own or doing schoolwork. I never wanted to miss out, and I got used by my friends and was always mistreated at every hangout. I always went home thinking, "Maybe I could have skipped this one day and done some extra work, I wouldn't have missed out on much. But I would just repeat the cycle over and over again. I got my grades for the second semester and they were terrible, I took extremely challenging classes and didn't have the time for it. I was not excelling in football either, constantly finding myself on the bench for my high school and club. I joined this community to make a change and try to become a better person, but I'm not sure if I'm ever going to do it.
