To who ever you are, just know that you aren't alone.

High school is such an awkward time and everything seems so important in the moment, but I promise you that it gets better.

That one 60% that you got on that one test doesn't matter. It is one grade. That doesn't determine your whole life.

I know that it may seem like everyone is constantly telling you just how important it is to do good in high school, so that you can get into a good college, but that doesn't mean that it all depends on one test or one class.

I also know that waking up that early in the morning seems like the worst hell that anyone could bestow upon you, but just hang on because in college the earliest class you can have is an 8:30 am and if you want to choose classes even later, like at 1 pm then you can. You get to make your own schedule.

Honestly overall college is so much better than high school, in my opinion at least.

For example, in high school you may feel lonely or left out. I mean we all know how cliquey high school can be. Well in college there is something for everyone.

They have clubs and organizations that everyone can join! There are so many ways to find your niche.

High school may seem like it has some kind of hierarchy with the 'popular' kids, but in college everyone just kind of minds their own business.

So just hold on and keep pushing. Keep waking up early and doing all of your work. Keep pushing for the grade you want.

But remember to enjoy it.

Don't spend every waking second stressing over classes and your future.

Make sure to spend some time with those close friends and with your family because before you know it you just may be a whole state apart from them.

In the end it will all be worth it.

All those hours spent studying, taking tests, and doing extracurricular for your college application will pay off.

You are destined for greatness, if you put in the work and keep reaching for what you want.
