I’m talking to 75 high schoolers on Friday and need to corrupt their
minds as much as possible.
If you could travel back in time and leave a message for yourself in High School, what would it be?
“Get involved in as much as possible. High school has endless possibilities.
And then everybody go to NC State!”
Alex
“If you're lucky, that strange, awkward phase you're going through lasts a lifetime.”
Justin
“Assume that you already are awesome.”
Sami
“Don't take yourself so seriously. Seriously.”
Sandy
“The things that make you different from the crowd are what make you great and you should never have to apologize for that. Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Don't let other's disbelief in themselves constrain your dreams from becoming a reality.”
Dani
“I NEED to Study Abroad.”
Zach
“Nothing ever goes as planned. Learn to be spontaneous.”
Suzanne
“Try. Again. Again. Again. Again. ”
Autumn
“Care less about what other people say or care about. Just do you. Take what serves you, let the haters hate.”
Denise
“Do things that push the limits of your comfort zone; create new boundaries. Easiest way? Travel. ”
Mary
“Work to educate yourself outside of the classroom - leadership skills are frequently more valued than technical skills.
Study abroad, and find a scholarship that will pay for you to do it.”
Alex
“lance armstrong isn't as awesome as you think he is... trust me”
Abe
“What you think you want out of life - esp career wise - likely wont be what you want by the time you're in your mid twenties. And that's ok. Why should a teenager dictate who you are in your 20s and beyond.”
Jennifer
“To do what you want to do, not what other people think you should do. Unless it's illegal. Then you should probably listen to other people.”
Nathalie
“Try hard to fail (forward)”
Prashanth
“Practice! Practice more! Why aren't you practicing?”
John
“Don't ever let anyone persuade you from pursuing your passion, no matter how much they try to convince you that it's impossible. You are braver than those people.”
Alexis
“Be who you are, and not who someone else wants you to be.”
Marcy
“Fear nothing, except the passage of time - it's one thing you can never get back.”
Aaron
“Give a 100% of yourself to achieve that which you love.”
Andres
“When you look at someone you see fat, short, tall, skinny, acne, unibrow -- all those things that don't matter. Everybody around you has a story. Learn it.”
Andrew
“Do something every day that scares you.”
Nathan
“Soon you will not be this self-conscious. Soon you will realize that most things are not that big of a deal. Soon you will see that you can reinvent yourself a million times, and then some.”
Luise
“But for now, think too many impossible thoughts and pursue dreams that seem too high up. Be far more idealistic than is practical."

• Bronnie Ware is an Australian nurse who spent several years working in palliative care, caring for patients in the last 12 weeks of their lives. She recorded their dying epiphanies in a blog called Inspiration and Chai, which gathered so much attention that she put her observations into a book called The Top Five Regrets of the Dying.Ware writes of the phenomenal clarity of vision that people gain at the end of their lives, and how we might learn from their wisdom. "When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently," she says, "common themes surfaced again and again."Here are the top five regrets of the dying, as witnessed by Ware:
• 1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
• "This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it."
