The most important advice I've ever been given was from Peter. And it was simple but it stuck with me. He told me one day “what's the point of life if you don’t try new things”. As simple and dumb as it may sound it stuck and helped me quite a bit. It's helped me to try new things such as food and activities. It's also helped me make more friends because I go out of my way more often than not to try new things socially and meet more people. If I never went out of my way to try new things then there's no point. I'm just living out a dull existence without surprise or growth. I would’ve had a lot worse of a middle school experience if I chose to take Spanish over Chinese. But I took Chinese and it changed middle school for the better.
