Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

During our elementary school years all our choices were made for us, whether it was who would become our playmates or what subjects would be taught to us. But when we reach middle and high school, we are given more freedom on what we can take, and this gives us the chance to explore different materials and meet people who have the same interests as us. Although by the time you are reading this you most likely have already chosen your classes for the year, you should know that it’s not too late to make some changes.

From Self-conscious to Confident

My first day of high school was daunting. I knew only a handful of other students, was wearing what I had deemed a ridiculous uniform for the first time in my life, and carried around all my textbooks because I did not realize that they were not needed every day. What I wanted to hear on that first day of high school was the reassurance that everything was going to be OK. And it was. High school was challenging academically, socially, and emotionally, but I not only got through it, but found new friendships and experiences along the way.

There is one main thing that I think all high school students should know. (There is more than one thing of course, but I know you are already on information overload so I decided to keep it simple.) I don’t just want to tell you to work hard while you are in high school, although that is important if you want to have success in your life. No, I think that one of the most important things that most students fail to realize is how fast it will all be over.

Pumped for High School Perks, and Prepping for the Future

Senior year -- the year I thought would never arrive. Most people haven’t asked me what I think about being a senior; instead they skip right to asking me what I will do after I’m a senior. Students need to get through senior year and then they will enter into the glory years known as college.
