Always

REMEMBER to always stand out. Don't be afraid to be one, and unique. Just because there are a few different faces in the school; doesn't mean you have to become someone you're not. Change can be a good thing, and other times its nothing you want to get your hands into. Don't be afraid to dream out loud, and let your personality flow through your outfits, hairdos or your own personal hobbies. I've seen so many people become someone they're not just because they were trying to impress the wrong crowd. It's hard to see someone you were so close with at one time change before your eyes. It's like seeing someone slowly start to fade, and you can't do anything about it. Remember to always stick to being yourself. It's the best way to show people your true identity.

Freshman,

Make sure to keep your grades up. Every quiz, test, exam, essay, or paper that is graded will count towards you graduating. So especially in 9th grade, start making good habits. For instance, studying, completing your homework on time, participating in class, and making wise decisions that keep you focused on school, and doing your utmost best. Almost 78% of upper classman last year told teachers that they should have worked harder in 9th grade. I mean do you really want to get in to your dream college, or do you want to work at Walmart for the rest of your life? It's your choice, but if I were you I would choose early, and decide what would make me more joyous, and successful in life.

Remember,

Throughout high school, you have peer pressure, bullies, and difficult desicions to make. But, one of the most important aspects in high school is, staying neat, and organized. Not only does it keep your area flawless, but it helps you keep your papers, books, binders, etc., together, and in tact. So, you always know where to find them. Keep structured, and do your utmost best!

Chillax kiddies,

Look, don't freak out on the first day. High school can seem intimidating, but it really isn't. Sure it's filled with different classes, teachers, and new kids, but don't get stressed the first day. Stay calm, and do your best.
