QUESTION 1: My first two months at Heritage Woods have been better than I could have imagined. At first, I thought that it was going to be confusing, I thought that the people were going to be mean, and I thought that it would be very stressful, and it has been everything but that. I have made so many new peers and colleagues during my highschool experience, and I now have a better understanding about what it is to have a true friendship. Heritage Woods have gone above and beyond my expectations for a school. Most of the teachers are outgoing and friendly, and there is always someone there to offer a helping hand.
A piece of advise that I would offer to a middle schooler is to:
1: Do something that you’re afraid of doing. Whether its performing in front of the whole school, or trying a new sport, or maybe even taking a new class. When I signed up for dance I was nervous for it. I was scared that people were going to be judge me or laugh if I messed up. However, once you put that all to the side, you look worse if it shows that you’re embarrassed. Even some of the best people in your classes mess up, but it’s the recovery that makes it better.
2: My second piece of advise is to always ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask questions because if you don’t, you’ll be 100 times more confused. ˇThere are no dumb questions, and in the end, if you are confused then, you’ll feel dumb anyways when you get your worksheets back and it comes back as 0%. In the starting year, there were many things that i was confused about. Whether it was for worksheets or directions to classes, I always asked questions and I always felt relieved.
3: For my final piece of advise, something that I would recommend to the middle schoolers is to make lots of friends. It might be scary or new for you, but even if you’re shy, there are also shy people out there. It is also very useful to make friends in your classes because you can study together and build stronger friendships with each-other. You never know, you could meet people that you’ll be friends with for the rest of your highschool experience and maybe even your life.
