I am you in the future, I've decided to give you tips and advice to make sure that you have a good high school career. Firstly, i just want to tell you that if you remember any of the things I'm about to tell you remember this one. High school is a transition period, its all about finding yourself, having fun with friends(yes that includes fooling around and getting in trouble SOMETIMES but not too much). I want to tell you to cherish the friends you have in high school because they wont be there for ever, some of the people you talk to everyday in a few years you wont ever see them or talk to them again. Yeah, its crazy because the bonds you have with people today that you think are unbreakable will slowly break apart with time. When this happens don't get sad or discouraged, change is part of life and the people you meet everyday give you an opportunity to learn something new and once they've served their purpose there is no point in them being there anymore(p.s its completely normal to feel upset during this period). I want to tell you that education is key but the key to education is balance. You have to have a balance between your social life, family, religion, personal time, and education unless sooner or later things will crumble down on you. My English teacher once said that education is key because it gives you choices. You are like anyone else, you weren't born into an vastly high income family therefore not everything was laid out for you. i'm not gonna lie it will take A LOT of work to accomplish the things you set out for yourself. But honestly,if you work hard and stay dedicated good things will come your way.
Also, i want to inform you that in the future you will experience hardships, you'll experience days where you feel like giving up, days where you don't have the strength to go on but those are the days that define who you are. Only during hardships and adversity can you truly find yourself, it doesn't matter how many times you fail, success will surly come to those that work hard no matter what.And especially during these times, i urge you to get close with God. When life gets too hard to stand..kneel and pray.
OH Yeah i almost forgot, the second most important thing you will need to know is that throughout high school there are going to be good and bad experiences but each one will lead to something new that you haven't experience so you should step out of your comfort zone. Try new things, you never know what could happened maybe you may like it.
Lastly, I want you to know that no matter what you do don't give up on anything. You can do anything you set your mind to, don't give up just because you failed. Look at failure as a stepping stone to success. After high school is over there will be many changes but remember that its for the better and don't forget who helped you when you needed. Before you leave high school i'm giving you a mission!! My mission for you if you choose to accept it is that within the 3 years you have left of high school strive to make a difference in the lives of those you meet. Becoming successful doesn't mean anything if you don't have people to celebrate that achievement with. Help those around you, not because i told you to but because its just the right thing to do.
