REBECCA’s Answer

Fantastic Inquiry! In my final year at high school, I discovered the importance of nurturing relationships with those who contributed to my personal growth. I mustered the courage to navigate the intimidating major highways and mastered the art of doing my laundry independently. Most importantly, I realized that seeking assistance when things become too much or when I'm unsure is perfectly fine.

One thing I learned from my senior year was how important time management. Learning how to manage your time, and to find a system that works for you, will help you throughout your entire life. Having a time management system will help you be more productive and be less stressed when you have multiple obligations at once.

Erin’s Answer

Something that I learned in my senior year of high school was how to make change more manageable. When you're in school, everything is very structured: you see the same people every day, your schedule is very similar day to day, you consistently see friends and family, you may be involved in a regularly scheduled sport, etc. But when you reach your senior year of high school and beyond, a lot of things are on the verge of changing. Once you graduate, you may move away to go to college, which means new people, new schedule, new living situations, new conflicts, new expectations and obligations, etc. If you start a job right after high school, maybe in your hometown, a lot of people from your class may be the ones moving away, and you won't see your friends as regularly, you have new expectations and obligations and a new schedule. No matter what you do when you graduate, things change. I don't mean to make it sound daunting, as it is a very exciting part of life and often results in many new relationships and opportunities.

However, no matter the good or bad, change can be overwhelming, and it can be helpful to find a way to help ease these transitions, such as finding a stress-relieving activity. This can be working out, playing a sport, joining a club (sports, book, hobby), writing in a journal, seeing a therapist, making art/being creative, or finding a good book to read/series to watch. For me, it is working out and finding a good show to watch. As a whole, I learned that it is important to find a constant that you can come back to whenever it feels like life is changing too quickly, as it can help you feel more secure and relaxed in those times of change.

Charly’s Answer

Hi good morning! In my personal opinion a good life tools is to be honest, humble, socially empathic, be open to advice and criticism (good or bad) determination and focus, be clear about what you want to achieve (positively) never forget where you come from. I think having those tools in life is a life skill.

Yisel’s Answer

Hi Lilly,

What an insightful question you've posed! Your final year is a whirlwind of emotions, filled with anticipation as you prepare to step into a fresh chapter of your life. Simultaneously, there's a sense of mystery as you're about to take the reins and design your own path, having spent years following a pre-set routine.

In my own senior year, I began to cultivate the invaluable skill of critical thinking. This skill becomes increasingly significant as you navigate through life, making decisions that will shape your future - from choosing your prom outfit to selecting the college you wish to attend, if that's the path you choose.

Remember, it's also crucial to enjoy your senior year, as it truly does fly by. Life skills evolve with age and experience, so don't be too hard on yourself. Always remember to take a moment, and just breathe.

I hope this provides some guidance. Congratulations to the Class of 2024 - you're on the brink of an exciting journey!
