    Thank you so much!! Time management definitely took a bit to get used to but it’s just something I had to develop over time. As for looking for the opportunities I would ask students in grades above you, your school counselor/principal, Google, and watch other stats/ec videos for inspiration! And honestly, sometimes you have to make the opportunities if they don’t exist, which was something I had to do throughout high school.
