In the beginning I did. It became easier when I got accepted to a couple of schools.

Briefly - because I only had one shot to go where I'd never have to deal with my old HS classmates ever again.

Fortunately, I got it.

Sadly, no...I got in, but the lack of fear was due to my lack of motivation which would kick me in the ass 3 years later.

Nope. Went to state college because I realized that you are the most important factor to your education. Not your school. Why graduate with a 200k debt?

I'm talented, but not enough to get 200k worth of scholarships.

Instead I'm maxing out my roth IRA.

Don't worry about it. ACT tests and stuff are all crap.

perseverance and average talent can get you to the top of your field.

Employers don't give a sh1t about extracurricular activities, especially in high school. They want work experience, skills, and lastly high GPA college education.
