Attention all freshman!!!
So you're finally in high school. More freedom and choices await you. Also, more responsibility. You may think this is time for fun and games but it's not! I screwed up my freshman year. Horribly. I had a terribly low GPA and almost all F's. I skipped 1st and 2nd block almost everyday to go out to breakfast (which was delicious but not worth the low grades). Anyways, I slacked off a lot and now I am paying the price. I had to have credit recovery for two years, which is not fun at all. Also I have to work extra hard so I can raise my GPA enough to get into college. You may think that Senior year is far away (I thought it was) but to tell you the truth it goes by fast. It feels like yesterday I was a scrawny, scared little Freshman on the first day of my adventure as a high school kid. Now I am a senior edging towards graduation, the day where my real life begins. It is frightening to know how quickly life goes by. What I am saying is, don't wait till your Junior or Senior year to pick up the pace. Do what you need to do and do your best at it! Strive for excellence, and your Senior year will be a breeze. Just don't make the mistakes I did.

That was great. I love the use of the word "the".
You're not the only one who messed up one way or another, so I get where your coming from. never the less, good advice and hope things work out for you.
I totally agree that life is going by really fast. Your advice is great. I think it would be good for freshman to hear your story.
I agree with Cubia, your meticulous and careful placement of the word "the" really helps to make this a vibrant and well-planned post. Great job.
This is very useful information, and i thank you for taking to time to write this. It must suck having to do so much to make up for the mistakes you made. That is why I am going to try my hardest in school. I wont have to try so hard in my final years of highschool.
