Seniors are about to head out the door, and from their 4 years of experience, they’ve certainly earned the term “seniors.” With that being said, here are some words of the old and wise for the young and bright newcomers. 

Ray Martin says “Ignore people. Learn how to become really good at ignoring people” She says that people are gonna try to mess with you and get your attention.

Gage Barrett said “The year goes way faster than you think. If you have an assignment due in a few months don’t push it off that deadline will be there by what feels like a week.” 

He said that your grades are important and the smallest thing can severely affect it, so don’t wait until the day before it’s due to start that assignment. “Before you know it you will be graduating and still feel like you are in your freshman year.”

Some seniors chose to remain anonymous when giving their responses.

“Something that I would tell other people that are going into highschool is to be organized. Without organization throughout your education you won’t be able to keep track of deadlines and assignment dates.”

They would tell others to get a planner of some sort so you can keep track of some things. Another piece of advice they would give to the people that are coming to highschool, would be to take as many college classes as you can because in high school you don’t have to pay for them but after high school you do.

With that being said, I think Freshman and new students can learn a lot. My piece of advice is to be kind and thoughtful, be respectful of others and yourself. Do your work, and don’t worry too much about what tomorrow brings.
