General Comments: I’ve already done some of this stuff & I have a feeling that I can do most of it (except for the ridiculous SAT/AP stuff, lol). This is basically a plan that I have to follow now, because it truly shows the impact I want to make while I’m in high school. I just want to MAKE A DIFFERENCE. That’s the biggest thing for me, I don’t really care as much about the rest.
