In the midst of high school, exams, tests and homework piles a burden on top of us. To finish these tasks by their deadlines we often forget to take time out and develop ourselves. And one way to develop, is to challenge yourself to invest time in learning outside of school and try to learn something new every day. Over time, these new skills will indefinitely become an asset towards your future, whether in the workplace or in general life.
Below, I have complied a list of websites you can use to learn a new skill. The titles are hyperlinked to their website, so you can access them easily.
