Practice #24 - How to Escape High School

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,540 How do you escape high school? So if you're like me you 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,800 sit through school your whole life and 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,560 Ever since you realized the reality of school you started to hate it 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,800 You started to realize that it's not helping you you started to realize that it's actually 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:22,880 Bad for you and it's damaging you you've heard all of these things like school molds you into a zombie 6 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:28,520 You've heard that school turns you it puts turns you into factory worker 7 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,520 You've heard all of these things. Yeah, you're still stuck in school 8 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,240 So let me walk you through exactly how to get out 9 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,080 Most people don't realize that they can actually get out of school. I did it. I 10 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,080 graduated early as a 11 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:52,160 Senior so I didn't get out of school as long I didn't I only saved a few months six months is a lot 12 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,120 But I did only save one semester 13 00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:02,080 But if I would if I knew all the things I knew now and I was going back in time to being a freshman 14 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,360 Here's what I would do. I 15 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:11,300 Would make sure that I was good friends with my counselor and I would start I would make no I 16 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,560 Would make sure that 17 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,080 Even before I start like talking to my counselor 18 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,960 I would just make sure that I'm only signed up for classes that are required for graduation. I 19 00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:25,880 You wasted a lot of class periods on 20 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,920 electives and 21 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,560 Stuff that was not required for graduation but recommended for college or required for college 22 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,600 And so if I didn't take those classes 23 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:46,160 I would have just filled in the required classes and then once I finish all my graduation requirements 24 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,480 I'm out of here. That's essentially what I would do. I would just 25 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:55,240 Make sure that I only take the classes that are required for graduation and 26 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:02,000 then get out of here and also what I would do is I would take summer school it would be a very 27 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,400 Difficult thing to do in the moment while I'm in summer and everyone else is out doing their own thing 28 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,680 but it would be extremely important because 29 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:18,880 Taking summer school if you max out your summer school and take all those classes you can you can get a lot of 30 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:19,760 of 31 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,160 Credits in in a quicker amount of time. So it's way more efficient 32 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,840 And you'll be able to graduate way earlier. I heard that 33 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:35,120 someone at my school graduated like as a sophomore or as a junior first semester and 34 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,560 I graduated as a senior after a first semester 35 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,560 so I only saved one semester but if 36 00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:43,360 I was going back in time 37 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,880 I would definitely try and graduate as soon as possible 38 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:53,080 So that's basically the whole point of this video to bring awareness to the fact that you can actually take control of your schedule 39 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,560 And you can actually graduate early, but there is another side to the coin 40 00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:04,040 Convincing your parents to allow you to graduate early and convincing your parents to 41 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:10,600 Allow you not to go to college. So that brings you into the next step 42 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,160 getting on self-improvement and 43 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,160 locking in 44 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,800 You have to get on to self-improvement and then read as much books as possible 45 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,640 Show them that you are into learning on your own time 46 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:31,920 Show them that even though you're gonna graduate you are still learning all the time even more so than you were in school 47 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:37,960 And then also show them that you have a plan show them that you are not just 48 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:43,860 Lounging away at their house for the rest of your life show them that you're actually trying 49 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,920 Entrepreneurship or you're trying in a career path or whatever 50 00:03:47,920 --> 00:04:07,880 Show them all of these things and you will break free from high school
