Dear incoming students,

Welcome to high school! It’s going to be an amazing experience, although there may be some challenging moments. Your teachers will give you a lot of work, but remember that they genuinely want to help you succeed and grow as both students and individuals. Sometimes it may seem like certain teachers don’t like you, but it’s just their way of showing they care. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you don’t understand something. You might have some drama with friends that feels like the end of the world, but it usually blows over quickly. It’s okay if it takes time to find your group of friends. In my experience, having familiar faces in class helped, but it also strengthened my bond with them. In this photography class, you’ll develop a connection with both your teacher and classmates. The class is designed to be engaging and enjoyable, so you’ll actually want to attend instead of skipping. The assignments are manageable, especially with the assistance of Ms. Cauchon. Stay consistent with your work and it won’t be difficult at all. Make the most of this class, don’t procrastinate, and cherish every moment because high school flies by.
