My first name is John
I am a 17 year old Junior in high school and am currently the section leader of our community's marching band. I am also participating in boys state this summer and I am an Eagle scout.
Right now It is concerning me that many of the teenagers my age are not taking advantage of the opportunities handed to them on a silver platter. I have many smart, brilliant, friends who have perfect grades, yet still don't do anything with their life. I feel like a great amount of teenagers are getting lazier.
The best encouragement I think will be to offer more recognition. We need to have more programs that connect with people and teach good, honest, values. We need to find that small boy who may in the future become the next Bill Gates.
Although I don't have many solutions for this problem, I know there are ways to connect to leaders.
Please feel free to answer the question
Thanks!
