If I could have one ’do-over’ in life‚ my do over would be High School. It would be High School‚ because knowing what I know now‚ I would’ve been a lot more involved in school. I would have joined more clubs and organizations. I would have cared more about my activities. Now‚ applying for college and scholarships‚ I have nothing to show for it.
