to an upcoming freshman I would tell them to: pick ther classes wisely, go to school, don't slack, ALWAYS pay attention, and turn everything in on time. I would take a wholile to decide what classes to take because they determine what classes you will be taking sophomore, junior, and senior year. I would also say always go to school because if you do, you can be exempt from your exams and also you won't get so behind and have to make up a ton of work. a lot of people in high school slack their freshman year just cause they don't take anything seriously and are immature. DON'T slack. it will catch up with you and you will regret it later. ALWAYS pay attention in class, take notes, because you will not do good on tests, quizzes, or exams if you don't pay attention in class. lastly, turn in all your work because your grades will suffer if you don't.
