Matthew Smith Make sure your yearbook photo is a good one because it will stick with you forever! Austin Snell Join choir! As an underclassman, I was incredibly shy and one of the most introverted people you would ever meet. I came to Maize High with few friends and low self-value and confidence. When I joined choir as a freshman, I was extremely nervous. I was a horrible dancer and definitely not the best singer. As my time in choir progressed, I gained so many friends! The upperclassmen were my biggest role models and I gained so much support from them. My love for music exploded. And best of all, I created memories that will be with me for the rest of my life with my choir family. Also, don’t stick to just one type of elective. My example is that I love choir deeply, but I stretched myself out to more opportunities and found that I also have a love for using computer programs to create project or design houses.

Hannah Wagner Stand up for yourself, whether it’s a teacher, fellow classmate or coach. If someone makes you feel like anything less than awesome, talk to them.

Samantha Watson They should go to Homecoming and football games, dances, Prom and the pep assemblies. Emma Watt Participate in every school activity you can. It may seem like a waste of time at first, but trust me you will end up enjoying it.

Anna Weaver Spending Friday nights in the stands. It may seem overrated now, but those down-to-the-wire games and cheering alongside your friends will be the ones you remember. Freshman year counts.
