It's all in the attitude.

Who ever said being out of place was never cool? Almost 99.9% of the time, people assume that if you’re out of place, you’re the biggest loser. That means you’re always out of the loop when it comes to the latest gossip, the last person to pick up on a secret – heck, you were probably the last kid in you’re 3rd grade class to know that the tooth fairy didn’t exist. But contrary to popular belief, being out of place can actually be what makes you stand out. It’s what makes you unique -- competitive advantage is what the marketing students over in the UA&P would call it.

But making your distinct advantage work for you is all in the attitude and in the way you carry yourself. Respect yourself and flaunt what you’ve got. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone (which doesn’t mean that you should go ditch your friends and fly solo, just don’t allow yourself to drown in the views that your friends may believe in but you totally disagree with). Sure, it’s scary, but marching to the beat of your own drum every once in a while never hurt.

That is why we should make the most of our school experiences. Carrying the proper attitude towards our studies (and all other aspects of life) such as that of the students in DualTech made them emerge determined, strong, positive, and ready to face the real world with confidence. Now THAT’S cool.
