<p>Hey,</p>
<p>Listen, I’ve had the same problem as you and I know how it feels to dream goals but not to do everything to your full capability to reach those goals. I have supposed friends that are on a completely different plane of thought than I am. They don’t have any goals. They just want to keep living their lives doing nothing while I have dreams of changing the world. Grade wise I’m not in the same boat as you. I have pretty decent stats but my problem came in maintaining those stats and to keep dreaming my dreams. In here you can’t let your friends disturb you. You have to be selfish in your education.</p>
<p>Why are you getting distracted? Why do you procrastinate? Why do you feel discouraged. I think it’s because you’re scared. Its because you’re afraid to let down not your parents or your ambition but rather, yourself. The only advice I can give you is to trust in yourself. Why do you want to go to Harvard? So you can accomplish your dreams. Dreams can be accomplished without it too. Don’t let colleges dictate your life or your happiness. That does NOT mean you should give up though. You’ve wasted some years. All right, don’t and move on. It may seem like the hardest thing to do in the world but just go out there and show yourself and the world that you won’t let this get to you. Because ultimately, you’re working towards something far bigger than your friends or distractions. You’re working towards meaning, towards an ideal. Don’t treat books or homework as work but treat as something satisfying, find knowledge more rewarding because no matter how cliched it is, its true. Don’t you get that feeling of discovery or accomplishment when you solve a hard math question for example? What if you could replicate it every day of you life. Think about that.</p>
<p>To be honest, there’s very little anyone else but YOURSELF can do. We can only encourage you. But remember, it can be fought and it does get better, loads better. Trust yourself, trust in your goals, and trust in your ability. You’ll go places.</p>
