Elizabeth:What advice do you have for a freshman for the next 4 years of their High School Career? 

Bland:My advice for freshmen is to realize this four years is going to go fast, even if it does not feel like it now. You will miss this time in your life once it is over. Often we are our worst enemy. Realize that when you stop working against yourself your life will get easier. Once we start to be our own best friend our lives get much richer and full of meaning.
