the most important thing to have and keep with u in high school is confidence. confidence in urself at ALL things – from being able to pass the next test, do an exam paper, to staying confident through all the trials ull be faced with during ur high school years. dont ever let anyone make u feel ur not as good as u know u are and can be.

this will help ur academic future as well as give u great practice for the real world.

Also, you shouldn’t take honors classes just to be with your friends. Just make new friends.

On a side note, there’s not always a guarentee that you’ll be with your friends even if you both take an honors class. But, my school will let you take an honors class for the first quarter, and if you struggle they send you down to regular classes, but the low grade from honors doesn’t count towards your GPA.

You’ll have your friends during breaks, at lunch and after school. You probably wouldn’t see too much of them in class anyway.

What I think you need to succeed in high school is a good set of priorities, a solid work ethic, knowing when to have fun, and a sense of humor.
