      ​@@Hp_percyJackson_twilightFan I kind of relate to this.
      After my father's passing, I started focusing on things other than the ones that my family members had done so far, I learnt English, I am opting for maths in 11th, I learnt programming and all that stuff. But when I talk about this to my family members, The just make fun of me. Even if they are happy for what I've done, They Just laugh at me and idk why.
      On the other hand, A Few friends that I have in school, Are the ones who keep motivating me to not give up just yet. Idk why but my life is just going the other way around rn

      It's funny how a few of these comments are made by underaged people but they're still more mature and understanding than some adults. I feel adults are too fixated on their title as adults and undermine teens and kids in general. Lets give them a chance before shooting them down, shall we? (As a teenager myself, I've seen how some passionate and spirited peers were just shot down because they're "just kids")

  • @randommatrix9

    The major problem, for me at least, is that I keep stopping doing things I like simply because I think I'm wasting time by not doing things that look "competitive" for admissions officers. I've realized that it is much more important to do something that you are passionate about than doing what you want others to think you do and enjoy.

    • @goharsguide
      @goharsguide  21 день тому +37

      YES!! Also, the things that you do just for fun (i.e., the things that don't look "competitive"), actually tend to be the activities that stand out the most. I'm a huge proponent of pursuing fun, "quirky" hobbies in addition to the more traditional activities

      This video really help me and i was always so scared of trying to stand out becuase for me i feel like the standard for me being asian, im always veiwed as "smart and noting else" so i was embarassed of getting a 95 percent of getting a b in math or lutterly doing anything wrong because i would think that im not living up to the standard as my culture and my family heritage. It felt like i was a puppet or somthing that should be represented as a avarage standard and what ever i did wrong was hurting my reputation. Im still trying to be myself with other people becauase i usally keep myself hidden and unseen and your videos help me out alot so thank you❤

    0:27 Embrace the Weird (Your “weirdness” can make you stand out in a good way!)
    2:28 Everything is a Skill (Hard skills: Concrete; Soft skills: Less tangible. BOTH ARE TRAINABLE!)
    4:01 It’s Never Too Late (Being a teen is still a lot of time to learn something!)
    5:03 You are More Capable Than You Realize (Not everything is based on innate talent!)
    6:22 Be Explicit (Ghosting and beating around the bush can lead to people believing your unreliable)
    7:50 Life is a Presentation Game (Presentation is important!)
    9:03 Nurture Relationships (It’s up to you to talk to your parents/friends! Time will slowly go away, and you have to start putting in the effort!)

    I love the tip that it’s “not too late” I started on my competitive sailing team as a 15 year old freshman after Covid. I was very nervous as I’ve never sailed before or remotely even looked into it. However I worked hard and pushed myself to learn all I could and did summer programs as well as every regatta my school participated in. I’m a senior now and a captain and although I’m not amazing I can hold my own and beat college sailors and people that have been sailing since they were little. It’s been such an incredible sport and passion for me that I’m going to continue fostering my love for sailing as a summer sailing instructor at the place my team sails out of this summer!

    There’s so many things I can think of to better myself socially and academically, but to be blunt with it I’m scared. I have a history in my school district of being laughing material and nothing to care about. There’s so much I want to do yet I don’t know where to begin.

      Have you heard of atomic habits? The basics are that small changes in routine can impact your life a lot, whether it’s limiting time on social media, or going on three walks per week. You want to act like the person you want to be, and adopt the mannerisms of that person at the finish line.
