Focus on the journey, not the destination

I couldn't relate to this story any more than I did! As a high school senior, I know exactly what you are going through. All the pressure, expectations, focus, drive, competition, etc. I can relate to it all. I enjoyed all the different perspectives, it shows the real diversity of a high school. You had some great information. All the interviews provided good insight and very relative advice. This piece can relate to any high school student across the nation. In the end, I have felt all the frustrations, joys and stresses that you spoke about. All of your comments were spot on. "Focus on the journey, not the destination" is the quote I got from listening to this piece. I would recommend listening to this piece to anyone that is in high school or preparing for college. Finally, the music carried the piece in a very engaging way. Great job!!
