Use the time in high school to learn about what you don't want to do in life. Although there is an immense pressure to know exactly what path you want to take after graduating, I have come to learn that knowing what you don't want to do is equally as important. This approach takes a lot of pressure off your shoulders and gives you the mental freedom to explore every option and start narrowing down your interests.
