Besides the obvious answer of making money, or rather, how would you do it as an 8 year old? What else would you do?

probably planning to rectify academic track record first, assuming the future remains the same you left it? you would make different choices so you have better outcome in adulthood, careerwise, or relationship wise.(because you know which stem fields you suck and want to pursue and you are failing class, probably changing that, or choose a different major)

Play a bit less video games, focus harder on skateboarding and learn guitar earlier (started when I was 11).

Once I hit high school, I'd focus more so I could go to school at the end for electrical engineering. Once graduated, I'd start building amps and pedals for guitar and bass.

Damn, I accidentally responded to you with my comment for the whole thing. Sorry!

But in response to you - what kind of allies? LGBTQ+? Political?
