Finally, it's time to tackle my senior year. It has taken me a lot of hard work and time to get this far, and I'm looking forward to the challenge. As I look back at my prior high school years, there are many things I did right, but also many things I could have improved on. So I'm not trying to have freshmen read this and follow step by step what I did, but they should follow a few steps.

This would give me more background knowledge and help me out in English classes or History classes. These three changes I wish I would have made are three that, as freshmen, should try think about as you continue through high school.

This caused me to challenge and push myself to do bigger and better things on projects or assignments. By taking honors level classes, you are put in an elite group of kids who also strive to excel. This way you aren't being brought down by any other classmates, who don't have the expectations that...
