Hey Dollies,

In a matter of days, I'll be graduating from high school. Now there has been good times and bad times, but in the end the past five years I’ve learnt a lot and I don’t mean from teachers and studying. I’ve learnt from the people around me, and I’m sure those who have graduated or are graduating can agree with me.

Now for those who are in high school or will be in high school, take my few ideas into consideration and you will enjoy your high school years.

Prepare for all exams beforehand. Don’t wait for the last minute and attempt to cram everything, you’ll be limited to just what you crammed and cannot express your ideas fully.

Try a sport. Now not everyone enjoys sports, some of us like to be home with a book, but try it just once, you don’t have to do it for all your high school years do it for as long as you wish and also it looks good on recommendations from your school when you further your studies.

Make friends with others. You may have your close friends, but at least try to know your other classmates; you could learn about a different culture or remove tension and awkwardness if you are to work together in groups.

Join in activities. The more activities you join in the greater your confidence in public speaking builds, so does your leadership skills. Also you get to look back at your memories and smile remembering that you did join in that activity.

Aside from that enjoy your high school years, after all you will only get to be there once, don't regret it.
