Don't slack by Freddy Hidalgo

Dear freshman,
I’m a graduate, you are beginning to make your future with every step you take in high school. Everything you do will be remembered when you try to apply for college. I remember when I was a freshman, I thought I was tough, thought that I can catch up later and just chill now. But that is a big mistake I made. You see, you mess up your freshman year you mess up all your years in high school. I did that and I had to work my ass off the rest of my high school years. My junior year was the hardest because I had to take the GHSGT and still had to do my work to pass. Then when I came to my senior I wanted to chill, but I had a lot of classes I needed to graduate so I couldn’t. That all happened because of me being dumb and lazy in my freshman year. Also don’t handout with the wrong crowd like I did. If you do then the people you hang out with will pressure you to do things you will regret later.
So I tell you don’t slack off and hang with the wrong crowd because all that will prevent you from graduating. Trust me there is nothing worse than watching all your friends you knew since elementary graduate, and you sitting with the crowd.
