So far this school year has been going smoothly and great as new faces join us along this school year. Freshman have traveled a long way to get here. Now it means to work even harder, but do not worry as it just takes time to get used to it. As the weeks continue more and more freshmen get stuck behind, as more stress is inflicted on them. There are ways around these many things that would cause stress. 

Mrs. Tavernier said, “Freshmen are in a new school and new environment and it’s usually a much larger school and they are the smaller, the youngest on campus so it could be overwhelming.¨ 

These are some reasons why being a freshman could be hard and stressful at first. 

Mrs. Christianson said “Working on organizational skills and utilizing pack time” are solutions to these stressful times for freshmen these things could help anyone be successful and not worry about different things in classes. 

Another important thing is communication as Mrs. Cordano said, ¨Communication is important, so if when they start to struggle in any of their classes, make sure their talking to their teachers.¨

These are some ways to get past the stresses of the first year of high school and how to succeed and flourish during these years. Making sure to communicate and catch up in classes is very important since freshman would be going through a whole new year that they have not experienced before which is why staying on task is very important.
