Advice for Students Entering High School:
Don’t procrastinate homework (trust me it’s not that bad), it’s okay to not meet the expectations for yourself, just don’t lose the vision that you’re working towards, and to, of course, always put your trust in the Lord with all that you do, because He will never fail you.
