As a recent high school graduate, the past four years have been full of ups and downs. From finding yourself in the wrong room on your very first day of high school, to taking a class that you instantly regret. It’s honestly terrifying, but don’t worry, you’ll find your way!

You’ll notice that back in middle school, you had a massive group of friends and I hate to say this, but that’s probably going to change. You’ll actually know who’s going to be there for you and who will leave you behind. I know it sucks letting people go, but it’s inevitable.

Please, please ask for help if you need it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for help, it’ll pay off in the end. There are so many people out there who want to watch you succeed.

If you see something a little off, please let someone know, people fight and someone could end up getting seriously injured. Don’t be a bystander, you could really help someone.

Go to all of the dances! Getting dressed up and dancing with your date of your best friends can be the best, and taking those photos even though you thought it was stupid will be so sentimental to you in the near future.

Know your worth, you are so smart and capable of many things, so be ready to show the world.

Don’t forget to work hard. It’ll pay off in the end when you start receiving scholarships come your final year of grade school.

Oh and one more thing, do not forget your school spirit!

Best of luck, class of 2020! Do great things!
