This is not an invitation to slack. Being successful in school and AP classes and sports and anything else you try requires you, all 100% of you. To be an expert, Malcolm Gladwell states that you need 10,000 hours of practice. As I’m sure none of you can put aside that many hours to become an expert, just give it all you’ve got. As long as you do the best you can, you have done your job. So when you’re anxious or worried, just put it into perspective. Give
all you’ve got, but don’t stress about what you can’t give. Destiny Barnett
