So many people struggle finding a balance in high school. There is a ton of pressure to get into good schools. Students find it hard to get enjoyment out of these years because of this. Look in the mirror and take a deep breath. Know that there is more than one path to your dream school. There is more than one path to your dream career. Don't be so set on a specific path that you judge success or failure on a college acceptance letter.
Hey James, this is solid advice! Can you speak more into the student's question around time management? Any tips or tricks you can share?

Hi Alexander,
Your question reads two ways: managing time and use of time. I suggest a way to track and organize all the things you wish to do or assignments and activities. It can be pencil/paper organizer or electronic. You want to make sure you track these to allow you to successfully meet deadlines and engage in activities of interest. It also gives you a record that you can refer to when listing things about yourself particularly for any college admissions.
Use of time: High school is a good time to look wide and explore. There is no defeat or limiting unless you put that on yourself. Think of it this way, there is no real economic loss associated with this time. You can try a number of things. If they do not feel like you, then you just stop and try something else. Many think college is the exploration time, but there is an economic thread tied to this exploration. Generally, 9th grade - explore subjects you like, but also look it ones that you would not necessarily think about as you (electives). 10th grade - explore clubs and extra curricular activities such as drama, sports, debate or subject clubs. 11th grade - explore activities, classes or clubs that give you a chance to get outside of high school and interact with the world or community. Lastly, 12th grade is the grand finale of high school. It is expected that you will know if and where you will pursue additional education or go directly into the workforce. Do not let this limit your continuing to explore who, what and how you wish to engage with your world. However, this is the time that economic point receives more focus as well ( needs for sustaining life).

Explore different areas of interest, and don't be afraid to try new things. You never know what area of life/work/study you'll end up enjoying. The more things you try, the greater the chance of you finding a passion!

Thank you for your question. This is a very common question that many high school students have.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Identify any time management tool, e.g. Phone Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, etc.
2. Put in your school time into your schedule
3. Assign some time for your assignment/project, etc. and revision. Don't do the revision only before the assessment
4. Make sure you have sufficient rest time
5. You can assign some time for your leisure , e.g. Do Exercise, Family & Friends Gathering, etc.
You do not need to fill up your schedule completed. You can leave some time to relax and keep 'me' time for reflect.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
