1) Build relationships with teachers and counselors
See teachers after school for clarification: They love that
Keep up with all assignments
Be on time for class
Talk to your teachers and ask them how to do well in their class and or study for their test.
Showing initiative and interest in your academics is impressive to them
Don’t curse at teachers and expect not to be suspended
Don’t be obnoxious to your teachers
You will need them to write recommendations for college
You don’t want them to be obnoxious when grading your work.
Make friends in the guidance and discipline offices
Freshman year is really important do the best you can
Do not burn any bridges with teachers you may need them to write recommendations
Don’t be to proud to ask for help pride comes before the fall
Live up to your potential
2) Time Management!!!!!!!
Prioritize
Focus on what will earn scholarships
Set up a schedule
Use school agenda and or an iPod
Make sure there is a balance
Stay Organized
Develop good study skills
Don’t bite off more than you can chew
Try to get a leadership position in a co0ple clubs rather than just being a member to many
Recognize the difference between work and play
3) Academics
Take grades very seriously
Set a goal
Keep goals in mind
Try to start out strong
Play to your strengths
Take challenging courses colleges like and respect the risk factor
However if you are failing these courses it might be better for you to take courses that you can excel in
Ask upperclassmen about the classes you are thinking about taking to get their opinion on the course and to learn about how to best please teachers.
Do not work with your friends on assignments
Identify hard workers and partner with them
Student athlete’s student comes first. For athletes hard work beats talent and talent doesn’t work hard.
If you have upperclassmen friends that have taken classes you are planning to take try to get their annotated copies of book. It may give you deeper insight into the reading
Form a study group.(not just with your friends you will get nothing done).
Seek the advice of seniors who are doing well.
Join a sport of a club it’s a great way to meet people Work out a routine in order to be able to stop at your locker and get to class on time.
Do homework as soon as you get it so you will have time later to just chill
Procrastination is the enemy of success
4) Relationships
Come in humble
Do not become apart of the crowd.
Do not think you are all that because there will definitely be someone bigger prettier and stronger than you
Stay true to who you are. In high school you are exposed to a lot of different ideas and opinions that may become apart of your own. Make sure you keep a grip of who you are.
Choose your friends wisely and don’t count your eggs before they hatch
Don’t fight and expect to stay in school
Don’t be afraid to meet new people
Be confident in who you are without being arrogant.
Don’t pick fights and expect to stay in school
Don’t stare you might get punched in the face
Why fit in when you can stand out for a good thing
Don’t judge people before you know them.
Remember being popular is not all that. Don’t sell your soul for fake friends
Do not be afraid to be alone. It’s better to be alone than with people who don’t care about you.
Take risk-don’t be afraid to step away from your friends and try new things
5) Side Notes
Make plans for lunch to avoid the horrid feeling of having nowhere to sit
Keep steadfast in your faith
If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo: Don’t!
Keep your pants on your waist
Wear a belt that fits
Make sure you get plenty of rest
Don’t stress out
Roll with the punches
Try your best to keep your head above water
Avoid drama
At all cost
