High School:
The shortest time period of our adolescence often shapes the rest of our lives for better and for worse. What important high school events left a lasting impression on your life? What clubs, teams, or friends helped or held you back? What lessons did you learn then that you will never forget?

The thing that I regret most from High School is my holier-than-thou attitude: as if some of my classmates were too "bad" to share my faith with... I can remember when one told me about his life change, and i waisted so much time thinking that he would always be the same jerk: drugy, sexaholic, alcho...
It took me a while to figure out that all people matter to God; I wish I would have learned the lesson sooner.

When I think back to high school I am so grateful that I was involved so deeply in my youth group. Without those friends and the leadership there I would have given into many temptations in high school that were there everyday.
What a firm foundation we have in Christ!

I nearly quit my team when my teammates made a mockery of God, to my face, in order to agitate me. I am so happy I never quit, because guys approached me, away from the crowd, to tell me how much of an eye-opener it was for them to see someone take that and stand firm.
Obviously I didn't have it all together behind the scenes, but I was happy that God was glorified.

Lifeline (youth group) was huge for me. Anybody that knows my life story well can tell you that lifeline made the largest difference in my life of anything. I was stuck in an extremely introverted pattern that I could not escape from. The viscous cycle could only be stop by stepping outside of the cycle.
I like to think that I pulled a fast one on those lifeliners, but truly the group was fairly accepting and most importantly - new. I figured that these people didn't realize that I was an introverted nerd yet, so why not "trick" them. I pretended to be funny, outgoing, and cool. I really wasn't, but I acted like I was.
It worked! Those suckers thought I was sort of cool and outgoing. Now everybody thinks I'm very extroverted. Only a few people from a long time ago realize that I'm just pulling off a massive act.
