Answer 1

Answer:

Dear Riley,

Congratulations! You’ve survived middle school and made it to freshman year. In my experience, childhood’s infamous cruelties, self doubt, and politicking were worst in eighth grade, so it only gets better from here. Welcome to high school!

Your daily schedule won’t change much. You’ll still wake up early to go sit in a classroom, select from a limited range of electives and extracurricular activities, and socialize with the same pool of people day in and day out. It’s not a big step away from what you know — but it is the first step into a wider world.

In addition to your old friends, you have hundreds of new classmates, drawn from multiple schools you’ve heard of but never seen, located just across the railroad tracks but exotic and new nonetheless. Your campus is large, with dedicated facilities both sporting and educational and endless nooks and crannies to lunch in. There are dozens of teams, classes, and clubs dedicated to developing any interest you may harbor. Your world has grown, and it will take years to plumb its depths.

Here’s what I wish I knew, in short and then at length:

1) Popularity Sucks, Friends Rule

2) Recognize Your Privilege

3) Ace Extracurriculars, not Classes

4) Sample Everything  

5) Treasure Your Youth

I’m excited to see who you become. To what comes next!

yours faithfully,

Joy.
