Struggle is life. You\u2019ll only feel like you\u2019re living when there\u2019s struggle.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>T.J. Gavazzi reflects: \u201cIf I could give my Freshman self-advice it would be, if you are busy and physically healthy you will stay mentally healthy. Leisure is the thing that kills dreams.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Vaughn Armstrong remarks: \u201cNot wanting to do something is not a good enough reason not to do something.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Griffin Morgan warns: \u201cAlthough school is important, it\u2019s also important to build a foundation for life after school. I wish I could\u2019ve used the large amount of free time I had Freshman year on learning a skill or working out. Being healthy and having a stable career path, I think, are going to stick with you for longer than what you learn in school.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Stefan Cristea says: \u201cDon\u2019t focus so much on the past. When I was a Freshmen I was so focused on thinking about how much I missed middle school and also thinking about things that could\u2019ve been that I didn\u2019t think about what I could do now to make my future look like what I wanted my past to be.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cIf I could give my Freshman self-advice it would be, if you are busy and physically healthy you will stay mentally healthy.

Highschool is about getting ready for the challenges life gives you. Honestly, I was afraid to take honor and AP classes. But once I took them, I realized they\u2019re actually not that hard.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Bobby Moore explains: \u201cDon\u2019t sleep on extra-curriculars. A lot of colleges are pretty competitive now. Grades are important, but there\u2019s so many students with really high GPAs applying now that you need to find something other than just good scores to make yourself standout. On top of that extra-curriculars are a really good way to get in touch with your community and meet people.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Koa Davidson As graduation approaches it is common for Seniors to reflect on their time at Ponte Vedra High School.
