PART TWO
We’ve all heard or felt the effects of negative peer pressure. But what about positive peer pressure? In 18 Under 18, The C&G wants to showcase amazing students that have found their passions, talents, and hobbies at a young age. Instead of merely shouting out these accomplishments, this continued feature serves as a call to action for the HIES community. It’s easy to read about other kids our age across the globe making a difference or pursuing a dream and think nothing of it. We excuse our own desire to do the same because it’s too late, it’s too hard, I’m too young. However, when we read about our peers that sit next to us in class or pass us in the hallways we feel an invisible push to reach outside of our limits and discover new things about ourselves. These kids have already pushed their limits, so let us all join them and find our own limits in order to break them.
