Many students are simply not built to succeed in high school. (they lack a strong rote memory, they don't like conforming, and/or they aren't strong test takers) Here are some tips for 'hacking' your way through HS when HS is not your thing:

1. Learn how to form long lasting relationships.

-listen

-do not participate in dragging others down

-be positive, people like positivity in the long run

2. Be a good teammate and/or group member.

-give credit, don't claim credit

-learn how to be a champion for the strengths/talents of others

-observe...you can learn from good role models and from bad ones

3. Focus on skills instead of content and try as many things as possible.

-pictures, video, speaking, audio, art, writing

-take welding, vehicle maintenance, and woodworking...trust me

4. Learn what you like and what you're good at.

5. Showcase your skills.

-use social media to build a portfolio of positivity and value
