I told this to about three people today: BE YOURSELF ! There’s no going wrong with that. Don’t act any other way. The best way you could get ready for school is read some books, get a makeover, and pray! =]

Scholarship for what? You don’t need to worry about scholarships until you’re in high school.

You should have an equal balance of both fun and work. Maybe a little more work if you want A’s and B’s. All work and no play doesn’t bode well for anyone.

Be sure to have your supplies. If I remember, most teachers at that point are still giving you a “what you need for class” list, so follow that. Once you get to college you don’t get that kind of list. 😉

Tell your mom you’ve outgrown or worn through your older clothes. Don’t go crazy, you don’t need a whole new wardrobe – just a few new pieces.

Uh, I would say you need to get up at 6am. How long is your run? I’m assuming “getting ready” includes an after-run shower? If it doesn’t, and your run is over 20 minutes or so, I would wake up at 5:30. You always want to have a little extra time in the morning, never less, so you’re not rushed.

Study hard–8th grade grades are important because they will determine whether you get in honors classes in high school. Have some fun this year on the weekends, and if your friends REALLY need you for something, you can help them out during the school week. Don’t get too involved in romantic relationships–they do distract you from your ambitions, and you still have plenty of time to find a great guy in life.

I’m not sure you should get up too early to run–you may have to tale a shower when you get in from running, and that takes time. Plus, ir might be dark when you are out running–this could be dangerous for one girl who’s out alone running. We don’t what you to get kidnapped or anything.

There’s not much that you can do to get ready for school. Other than finishing any summer homework you have.

I don’t know how your Mom to buy you more clothes. Inventory everything you have–if you find you are missing anything that you need, she’ll probably buy it for you. But it will have to be something you NEED, not something you want. But that doesn’t mean that if you need a certain piece of clothing, you cannot buy a cute piece of clothing.

Well grade 8 is fun, first of all just relax, there is nothing to worry about. When I was in grade 8, I had fun, but I also got good grades, you don’t want to cry at the end of the year, that’s why you have to study hard, but also you don’t want to ignore your friends. About the new clothes, it’s not important to buy new clothes, if your clothes are new than what’s the point, I am not going to but any special things. Be sure to have some pan and some paper in case, and about the walking thingy, you can walk in the weekends, well good luck.

Well I’m starting high school and starting high school is like starting a new life, u could act like any thing u want and make new friends! but every time I try that I end being myself and it alwayz puts me in the right position so I think u should act like your self and mostly concentrate on your study don’t focus on your friends and your boyfriend to much cause maybe you will find your self to caught up! Start practicing to wake up early! tell your mom to take u on a day when shes available and to spend some time with u! Get your school supplies ready so u don’t forget anything ! and remember 8th grade is a hard year and u should focus!

hope i helped and remember be your self and have a fun school year!
