successful Freshman year

Being a Freshman in high school is very stressful.  It would be smart to make a list on how to be successful.  Here is my idea on how to be successful in freshman year

1. Be organized.  I always carry around a folder or binder to carry around important papers.  If you are not organized you could loose papers and risk getting a zero.
2. Do what the teacher says.  95% of the time teachers now what they are doing.  Don't question them and just do what you are told.
3. Don't whine.  Whining will not get you anywhere.  You might as well not whine because you are going to have to do the work either way.
4. Don't let people distract you.  You come to school to learn.  You can have friends and all, but if they are distracting you from learning, that is not good
5. Stay focused.  In class it is very easy to day dream, but you should try to focus on what the teacher says.
