Q: What’s the most important lesson you learned in high school?
A: One important lesson I learned in high school was to not limit myself. I am capable of achieving or creating almost any opportunity that I set my mind to. It is easy to surrender control of your life and assume you don't have the power to accomplish things or create change. What people, especially kids, need to understand is that you have as much power as you allow yourself to have.
