Describe something you learned in high school.

In fourth grade, my teacher asked the class on the first day something that has stuck with me. Not a direct quote but something like

“You can tell a lot about how prepared someone is by how they walk, if they walk with their head down they’re distracted. If there head is up they’re naturally more prepared for what’s to come”

He proceeded to say something along the lines of preparedness and being ready for what is to come. Throughout the years, I’ve found myself trying to disprove this when I find myself walking with my head down and every time I find he was right.

It’s not necessarily about being prepared but being in the moment away from distractions. Now this was way before social media, I think we were making xzangas at the time and cell phones still were monotone but it’s something that has held true.
