​Lessons Learned

By Ramir Wearen

“To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition” ~ a quote directly from female rapper Lauryn Hill 
This is a perfect representation of my high school experience. I believe that high school has prepared me for what's to come through the trials and tribulations. I learned that as long as you remain optimistic and willing to learn from your mistakes you could go very far in both high school and life in general.  

After deep reflection of my past failures and mistakes I learned that my deepest regret was that I hadn’t taken all possible opportunities presented to me. I figured that if I would've just simply taken advantage of the things that could’ve been beneficial to me and my journey I would’ve been far more successful. 
​
My biggest takeaway from high school would be that you never know what relationships that you may create that can leverage your success in the future as far as opportunity and my biggest advice to up and comers would be to take advantage of every opportunity possible and be willing to learn from mistakes and be open to growth.
