As you know, you're in the big leagues now, you have different freedoms and that means you have to make responsible choices. Choices that not only represent yourself, but your family, friends, team, and your school. You also have independence and must manage your time wisely if you want to succeed. If you are ever feeling pressure to try dangerous things, you need to get new friends. Just be yourself and do what's right and you will have a fun and be successful.

You Are Growing Up

High school is though. You need to start growing up and become responsible, independent individuals. You have more freedoms at the high school, and your teachers trust you more. Make sure you use your hallway time wisely. Teachers expect you to be able to get to class on time. No excuses. Also, make sure you use your home time wisely. No one likes homework but, most people prefer it over spending an extra year or two at the high school. Right now you are at a point in your life where peer pressure is rough. Your peers are important to you and you want to fit in. If you know the consequences are not worth it, stand up for yourself and do whats right.
