The chapter " The Art of Finding Yourself When You're Lost" in The Accidental Masterpiece teaches us lesson through examples of Frank Hurley, the adventurer. We learn that adversity and hardship make us better artists. While I do not want to trek through sub zero temperatures eating dogs to stay alive, I think that if we are focused, obviously with a lot less electronic distractions, we are more productive. How does this chapter relate to college you may ask (I intend to keep the college theme going throughout all of these blogs ). As seniors, it is difficult to keep our grades up and do the high school thing, while having one foot out the door ready to do the college thing. One admissions person told me to remember to be a high school student. Well, that is easier said then done when AP classes remind us each day that we will be in college any second and for all intents and purposes we already are. Keep it simple, keep focused and do what needs to be done, and all adventures, including the quest for college will work out.
