Well, you're about to start your High School years as a Freshman and starting a new chapter. You're a little bit scared and over thinking to yourself that a lot of students are going to make fun of you or the classes you are taking are hard and you think you're going to fail.

Let me tell you something, you're going to make a lot of mistakes during your High School years including college, classes, friends and dreams.

You're going to have friends who will turn their backs on you use you, and peer pressure you. You need to be surrounded by the positives in High school and don't try to act tough and cool. Be yourself and worry about your education and track. You will get tons of homework and procrastinate every day and your teachers will take points away from your homework because you handed it in late.

Take care of your mom and be nice to her. She's a single mother and wants to help you with your future and to be better than your father who left the family.

High School can get boring sometimes and you're going to think about college all the time while you're in class or somewhere. It's a good thing because you should think about what college that you're planning on going to after you're done High School.

The terrible thing about going to college is that you're going to have to take the SAT and you're going to take it at least 3 times. You will get accepted to a lot of good colleges, but won't get accepted to your dream school that you've been dreaming of since your Freshman year of High School. However, it's alright. Also, listen to your older brother when he gives an advice about college.

Whenever you go to college, here are the some tips that i want you to know and follow:

  1. Think before you speak

Stand up for your friends

  1. You're going to make a lot of mistakes.
  2. You're going to have a lot of haters
  3. People will talk smack about you
  4. Study and do your homework.
  5. Watch who you're hanging out with.
  6. Find a job
  7. Train for Track and Field
  8. Don't do drugs
  9. Don't change your major all the time.
  10. Don't hang out with the people that you don't like.
  11. Help others if they need help
  12. Don't be in a relationship or fall in love.
  13. Don't be afraid of anyone.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
