1. Post these rules before presenting your list.
2. List 6 actions or achievements you think every person should accomplish before turning 18.
3. There are no conditions on what can be included on the list.
4. At the end of your blog, choose 6 people to get tagged and list their names.
5. People who are tagged write their own blog entry with their 6 suggestions.
6. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged.

1. Get to know people from as many different backgrounds as possible.
2. Be creative. Find ways to keep your mind stimulated. Expose yourself to as many different disciplines as are available to you... after school art classes, theater classes, computer clubs, sports, etc. If these don't exist at your school... they exist somewhere in your community. If you open enough doors one of them will lead you to your passion.
3. Ponder things beyond... embrace spiritual thoughts, questions about the purpose of life, daydreams about what reality really is. Explore many different philosophies/answers to these questions. Libraries and the web can offer you all the scriptures you need.
4. Go to the library as often as possible. Scour the shelves, take books down from them and hide there for awhile. Be ominverous in your consumption of ideas, thoughts, learning.
5. Make friends, but always be open to evaluating and, if need be, changing your social scene. Ask yourself why you like the people you like and what brings you to them.
6. Spend time with elders. Get to know them. Ask them about their lives, things they've experienced, things that have happened around them.

Kari, this is a FANTASTIC list. You should turn it into an article and try getting it published.
