Many adults see teens as energetic. Many of us see ourselves as proud. This thinking 36 many adults and us, too, to have the idea that if we can’t handle school or 37 life well, we’re just not trying.
But in my opinion that may not be 38 .
Earlier this school year, I was leaving my class one Friday, when suddenly it 39 like I had pulled a muscle in my back. I knew I was ill.

I refused to 44 that I was i11．I kept my job working 25 hours a week in a shop; I didn’t 45 any classes. When I was hurting, I didn’t mind and kept on going. 46 it kills you, it makes you stronger, right?
But now I find myself thinking. Is it 47 it? I’m taking the classes and writing for the newspaper because it looks good 48 college applications. And I’ m working 25 hours a week so that, once I get into my dream school, I can 49 it.
Here I am, already sick from the 50 of work I’m doing in and out of school. So, what good is 51 application if I’m badly ill? What is the 52 of doing this work if I can’t enjoy the results?
In fact, by writing my 53 I’m telling all the people who 54 much about the future to worry about it now. This is my warning: Don’t climb the 55 dive if you don’t like the deep end.
