Be realistic about your future decisions.If you want to head to a top college，you need to start thinking and working for that immediately.And while that includes getting good grades，it's not just about grades.You also have to take leadership positions because at last，that's what makes you stand out. — Alondra
Work hard

.So many of my friends fell behind the first year because it was so different from junior high school.But I was ready because I got that advice，and I worked hard from day one.So listen to me，and you'll be all set.

Be present
My advice for newcomers is to be present and live in the moment.Before you know it，high school's over，and you can't go back.There are no do-overs.（5）
