Most of us like to stay within in our comfort zone. We often do things that are normal for us. How often do you make dramatic changes? Do you ever think to yourself that you want to become a better version of yourself? I think a lot of us think about this, not because we are unhappy with ourselves, but because we think/know that we can be better. It's hard to change something as dramatic as your lifestyle and your happiness, so start with something smaller. Make small changes and build from there. You'll become the person you want to become, but you have to understand that it will take time.
High School students don't often know who they are or who they want to become, so they try new things. We go out of our comfort zone and try things we never imaged ourselves doing. These new things help us find out what we like and what we don't like. If you try something you like, that's great, but don't be discouraged if you try something new and you don't like it. It's just as good to find out that you don't like something because it helps you narrow down what you like to do.
Trying new things includes: job shadows, talking to new people, making new friends, trying new sports, activities, instruments, anything! Anything that is not "normal" to you is trying something new. You might find something you really enjoy doing, but you may never have discovered that if you hadn't tried it in the first place. You may meet someone you instantly click with and become best friends, but you would of new meet them if you didn't say "hi" first.
I know it's easier said than done, but we all try new things whether we realize it or not. All of these things shape us. They "add" to us and shape our personalities and us as people.
