Teenage Advice

Hello all,

I have found myself here as I am looking for advice regarding college selection and networking. Firstly college; I have a mediocre GPA of 3.8 and a day before I took the ACT I got a concussion. The test didn’t go as planed. I’m worried that I don’t have enough time to take the test again, and get my scores back in time for application deadlines. Secondly networking; I consider myself very extroverted and can converse with anyone. That being said I work at a prestigious and affluent golf course and want to somewhat chat/ network with members and guests. I don’t know how to start this conversation, or if its even appropriate.

Any advice is appreciated, and what would you tell your 17 year self in order to improve their livelihood.

Thanks
