• Don’t let your friends get you in trouble. Make sure you follow in the right crowd. As you progress through high school, there will be plenty of various influences that will either lead you in he wrong way, or the right way.
• Don’t be afraid to be yourself!
  As one senior Claudia Ocaña said, “This school is full of positive [ influences ] and accepting individuals. Therefore, you should embrace your uniqueness!”
• Be prepared for anything!
  From the depths of the senior section of the lunchroom, Louis Torres states that,
  “Classes can sometimes get overwhelming and you’ll need to make sure you don’t push yourself too much. These classes will catch up to you so be prepared for homework projects and extracurricular stuff to accumulate.”
