Alex Broyles Don’t be afraid to talk to the counselors if your schedule for a semester will be brutal, if you can spread out your classes so you don’t end up taking 3-4 honors or even AP classes in a single semester, try, I know a few people who are way too stressed out cramming all that work each and every day.

Bailey Birkholz My advice for underclassmen is to never give up on yourself and find your true friends.

Evelyn Garcia It’s okay to be selfish sometimes. Throughout high school I learned that you have to put yourself and your needs first. Sometimes a lot of us can be stuck in toxic relationships and we don’t have the courage to get out of them because we worry that we’ll hurt other people’s feelings. Sometimes our “friends” can prohibit us from excelling and hold us back instead. I’m not saying go out and be rude to people. I’m saying do what is best for you because you don’t want to get stuck in relationships that impede on your dreams.
