Live to Confound

"Those who know me at all consider me weird, to say the least. My own mother proudly stated that I am a true paradox. Everything about me is at odds with itself. Yet I function relatively well. The main thing that gives me a peace of mind, socially at least, is that I am unable to fit in a single stereotypical box of expectations. I would challenge you all to be the same in your own way. Dare to break the box. Don't live to excel. Live to confound! Pursue every subject in school that truly interests you, regardless of what people say. And above all... Be creative in whatever you pursue, don't just follow what's come before. Explore the uncharted and be proud of your true uniqueness."
