"The best way to predict your future is to create it." 

Charles Ketterer 

What this means is that in order to get the future you desire, you need to start working in the present. You decide what your future is going to look like. By having a good future you need to choose the right. For example if you want to get into USC. First of all you need to have a positive attitude. You need to believe in yourself. You also need to hang out with the correct people. The wrong people will influence you to do bad things. That won't really help you go far. The most important thing is to get good grades.
