My Freshman Year
I've had to keep up with a blog for my English class this year, and this will be my last post. I 'm sharing my best memory of freshman year, the most important thing I've learned this year, and three pieces of advice to the next freshmen. My best memory of freshman year has been the drama productions I've been a part of, from Sleeping Beauty, to the student-directed one acts, and finally to the Music Man. They were so much fun, and I can't wait until I get another chance to be in the next production. The most important thing I've learned this year is something my mom told me a few months ago, when I was dealing with some issues that affected my outward appearance. She told me, "Jordan you are not your hair." I learned that I am much more than what I look like. My three pieces of advice that I would give to next year's freshmen would be to keep up with your work when you miss school, whether you're out for something for sports or arts. It's hard to keep up with your work if you put off three days work to do in one day. Believe me, depending on what you decide to do for your arts or sports, you may run into this issue. The next is to always read what you're supposed to read for English. Don't use sparknotes. You will get caught eventually. Half of the freshman class got caught for that. Don't do it. The last piece of advice is to befriend the new kids. They need someone to talk to when they come to a new school, and you never know what that new friendship could turn into.
