Abstract
Let's begin with a bit of imagining. Let's take ourselves back to our own high school experience. Picture yourself when you were 17 years old in the spring of your junior year. What was your hairstyle? A butch cut, a bouffant, long hair, short hair? How about your clothes? Traditional cords and button-down collars, tie-dyed T-shirts and jeans? Did you have a car? What were you involved in at school? Think back for a minute to that spring of your junior year. A major concern might have been getting a date to the prom. Let's keep remembering. Write down your favorite class in school. Who was your favorite teacher? Think for a minute and picture your closest friends. Think about the pressures you felt as a 17 year old. Don't dismiss those pressures as unimportant because if you're really back there you remember they were the most important issues in the world to you at the time. What were your goals? Were you aiming for college? Was that goal optional in your family? What was hard for you? What was easy for you?
