Dear Friend,
When I first started this year I was stressed because I knew how much high school matters. Everyone talks about how much high school matters, and how grades affect college, and how college affects the job you get. Or so I thought, I thought grades were all that mattered, that was until I came to this new school. Far away from the pressure cooker of public school my new teachers taught me the importance of just enjoying the material because you only have high school once. Dear Friend, I hope you enjoy high school and I hope your not as stressed as I was until I learned to take a step back and breath, friend I hope you find that perfect balance between being stressed and being to relaxed.
Now a little about my year, my grades have been pretty solid although I always make honor roll when I am really striving for high honor roll. I play a sport every trimester because I think its good to be constantly active. I try to hang out with my friends every weekend and balance homework and studying. But I will admit sometimes it gets a little overwhelming, like I said before. Sometimes you just need to take a moment and relax. Now I’m not saying that I don’t worry about my grades because I do, just that I have learned to relax a bit more.
I also really like my friends but sometimes I worry about my place in the group. I know I shouldn’t but I guess I can’t help it. Sometimes I really miss my friends from my old school, even though I still see them its not the same, but I am happy with the group I have at my new school too.
Love Always,
Lucy
