Advice

      High school is on its way! Are you ready? Either way, here it comes! My parents advice for high school had two main focuses, being kind to everyone and ALWAYS stay caught up on homework. High school, (as I've been told) either will be the best, or worst years of your life. Most of the time, you only see the glory of freedom, new friends, and exploring new possibilities, from movies and TV shows. Honestly, I'm terrified of going to high school, because all I seem to be hearing about is the ever dreaded homework.

      The first advice that was given was: always be kind. This rule always seems to stand out to me, you don't want to be known as the kid who was always mean and treated others awfully. Even if your friends are doing it so you thinks it's okay, it's not. Being mean to people just makes you look bad, and that definitely isn't the impression you want to give as a scrawny, freshman. So, as I said before, always be kind, even if you have the peer pressure of 20 kids. I promise, you won't regret it.

      The second piece of advice that was given was: always stay on top of assignments. It's only going to get harder, so you HAVE to make sure you are finishing your work. Falling behind is only going to cause more and more stress. Making sure you have good grades is definitely important. Having good grades will help you get in the colleges and show that you are a hard worker on the things you peruse in life.
