rebelling against low expectations
KAIRA WRITES: Procrastination and lack of focus has always been a huge battle for me, and now that I’m in high school, it’s starting to become a huge problem. I have the type of personality that doesn’t do well flitting from one thing to another, but lately I can’t seem to focus. I’ll crack down on what I’m currently procrastinating with, but find something...
TALIA WRITES: So, I am hoping for some advice here. I am 16, and I teach Sunday School at my church. We go to a small church, so there aren’t a whole lot of kids, and this makes the age range pretty big, with the youngest being 5-years-old, and the oldest being 12.
