At the risk of seeming condescending, I'd like to compliment you on your writing: The ability to express one's self so clearly and effectively is rare, though perhaps more common on HN than elsewhere, and the ability to do so as a teenager is rarer still.
Yes, perhaps I draw great conclusions from three sentences, but they are three well-constructed, articulate, and pithy compound sentences. I fancy that I can hear your voice as I read your words, and having a voice is something many writers never achieve.
I strongly recommend that you write every day, even if only for your own purposes and even if you dispose of what you have written. Regardless of your industry or vocation, the ability to express yourself, to express complex thoughts cleanly and clearly, will serve you well the rest of your days.
