Dear Freshman,

                First I would like to say do not let freshman year intimidate you. I am sure you have heard people say that this was their worst year of high school, but it is only your worst year if you let it be. Let the drama roll around you, and be sure not to create any of your own. If your friends stop talking to you do not go around spreading awful rumors about them. You will regret it! Also if your “friend” goes around and starts spreading rumors about you do not feel bad when you decide they are not worth keeping around. Drama is not worth your time.

                I would also like to say do not get behind in your school work. When you get your first few assignments it may seem overwhelming, but just get them done to the best of your ability. If you fall behind catch up quickly because the assignments will just keep coming. Another thing, make sure that you complete your assignments well. Do not just do them to get them done. In the long run it will pay off. Grades are important. Not only to pass the year, but to help you in the future. Getting into college will be easier, and even if you do not go to college you need a high school diploma for every other job out there.  

If you are an athlete school needs to come first. Regardless of how much you love, and are dedicated to your sport. Your sport will not mean anything if you cannot play it. Also if you play sports you may get out of classes occasionally for games and/or meets. Make sure to get the work you are going to miss before you head out. You must stay up to speed with the rest of your peers. Plus if you know you are going to be missing classes ask one of your friends that are not in a sport, to let you know about the work. This is your year to find out who you are and where you stand in this school! Make this the BEST year of your high school career. Stay away from all the drama; get your school work done on time and to the best of your ability, and good luck with your future!!

Sincerely,

Megyn
