Senior Reflection #1

Some advice to high school freshmen: work hard your freshman and sophomore years.  It opens up all sorts of opportunities for you during your junior and senior year if you can make people think that you're responsible/motivated.  Also, the classes when you're an upperclassmen will be much harder.  Want that GPA that's going to get you into UVA?  Most of the work for that needs to be done your first two years, when classes are fairly easy and there's less pressure on you from other sources.  Grab the low hanging fruit.  Not to say you can't have fun during your underclassmen years, because you absolutely can, but you need to keep your eyes on the prize and remember what you're ultimately there for and what you're working towards.
