Do you have any advice for younger students? High school moves by very quickly and if you blink, you’ll miss it. So take all of the opportunities presented to you seriously. Take pride in what you do. Don’t be scared to take that first step. Talk to your crush, because if you don’t—you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. These truly are the golden years, so cherish it and make some memories!
