This is the world where someone who doesn't know you privately, personally, or professionally hears your name and has some opinion about you one way or another.

It's simply revealed there. People who lack integrity will have it revealed publicly.

Of course, it's also a time to acquire the skills needed for jobs in the "real world," but the part about becoming an adult with ideals and integrity is also important.

Headstrong is another word for trusting your own heart.
