It's Your Future - Digital Education Edition v1 | Page 45

RULE #10 The right person is out there for you. That person will appear at the right time. Focus on achieving your goals. A s I observe the youth of today I see so many of them caught up in dead end relationships. It might be you who is wasting time on some loser who is not going anywhere or doing anything with their life. Why are there countless people that both you and I know who have drama-filled relationships that injure them for years? I believe the answer is that these people are only copying what they see. What I mean is a lot of you believe you are in school right now to find your soul mate or some love interest. You may have seen those older than you do the whole relationship tango. Television shows and movies portray high school as one big soap opera full of relationship drama. Maybe you have been mesmerized by this whole "hook up" culture of getting as many partners as you can as if it were a race. I just want to encourage you to make healthy decisions that last a lifetime.
